When I did union contracts is would be definite, May meant May or may not

Careful with the wording unless the “is” or “may” was intentionally used to the benefit of the company or union. Arbitrators would always highlight either word in his Opinion.

I maintain that Clemson and FSU are delusional

They may eventually be able to leave the ACC south of $540 million but it

"While it is a member" may be interpreted to refer to the time

Meaning of "is"

I worked with the same legal team for a consulting client of mine eons ago.

Clinton was a Philosophy major. Maybe borrowed that from a prof?

Hmmm. Rep did associate him with Philosophy. Thanks for the clarification.
TomTurkey • 07/17/24 12:34 PM ET
Seems like a circular argument. We can legally leave once we leave....**
marcbvtgm • 07/16/24 03:32 PM ET
Not really. Their argument is if they leave they aren’t a member
GreenvilleVT • 07/16/24 04:24 PM ET
Huh? But they can't can't leave because they are a member, i.e. circular.**

We've also recently learned there are massively corrupt judges out there...
EDGEMAN • 07/17/24 06:41 AM ET
You recently learned this??**
marcbvtgm • 07/17/24 03:56 PM ET
Previously thought there were some judges with biases, but...
EDGEMAN • 07/17/24 03:58 PM ET
Those same corruption questions could also apply to the judges in NC and FL
VTHokie2000 • 07/17/24 11:02 AM ET
Yep, what action legally severs the membership. A middle finger?**
TomTurkey • 07/16/24 05:44 PM ET
Depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is. Heard that before?**
SHPHOKIE • 07/16/24 01:45 PM ET
It was an absurd rationalization in 98, it's a hail Mary in 2024**

More like running a QB keeper on 3rd and 20**

WestyHokie • 07/16/24 04:35 PM ET
But doesn't it also say members can't leave without giving up said rights.**
Seikoh_04 • 07/16/24 12:46 PM ET
Not sure. Haven’t ever seen the agreement. **
