Probably true, but do they have any evidence other than conjecture?

They site events but their opinion of why they occurred doesn't really carry any weight. They would need emails, witnesses, etc The ACC working in a way to preserve itself as a priority, rather than maximize revenues at all costs, is not unreasonable. Most companies and organizations focus on survival first, performance second. ** Edited by VT ChemE 1986 at 1/30/2024, 7:32:34 PM

FSU lawsuit: ACC had ‘self-dealing’ with then-commissioner, son
WBGV • 01/30/24 04:33 PM ET
it's hilarious that FSU is pissed about it now when they knew all along.

Having suspicion about wrongdoing or hearing about it in casual discourse
33laszlo99 • 01/31/24 12:10 PM ET
I just feel that if nobodies like us were questioning the arrangement,
reestuart • 01/31/24 12:40 PM ET
Much of the outrage could be theater.**
33laszlo99 • 01/31/24 12:45 PM ET
The only thing FSU has forgotten in their lawsuit
Vippie1 • 01/31/24 09:07 AM ET
They are REALLY grasping at straws now…**

a biodegradable straw that decomposed in 2013**

I vaguely recall conversations on this very board about that back then.
hokieball • 01/30/24 10:26 PM ET
after the Raycom mess they had several AD's looking over his shoulder

Flugaur show is torching this. Lots of articles in mainstream media
TDVick • 01/30/24 08:34 PM ET
he got you to listen, which is what he wanted**
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:03 AM ET
If FSU thought this was even a halfway plausible argument...
SMU Pony • 01/30/24 09:25 PM ET
It's called a slow drip. They will continue to drop nuggets like this to
JohnsonCItyHokie • 01/31/24 12:39 AM ET
it isn't a nugget; just a political distraction
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:17 AM ET
This sounds consistent with the narrative that was mentioned
TDVick • 01/31/24 03:54 AM ET
Maybe they have receipts, maybe not. FSU may have more surprises that they
33laszlo99 • 01/30/24 11:19 PM ET
nvm
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:30 AM ET
At least keep it to stuff from after FSU signed the Grant of Rights.
HOO86 • 01/31/24 05:59 AM ET
A judge may not love that
SMU Pony • 01/31/24 04:15 AM ET
He is as good as anyone reporting on conference realignment.
WBGV • 01/30/24 09:20 PM ET
he's more entertainment than journalism
daveinop • 01/31/24 08:46 AM ET
Perhaps, but he now has a track record of being right
WBGV • 01/31/24 09:54 AM ET
oh, he's certainly right sometimes
daveinop • 01/31/24 01:38 PM ET

VT ChemE 1986 • 01/30/24 07:27 PM ET
and yet they didn't leave when Maryland did **
daveinop • 01/30/24 07:13 PM ET
We know FSU doesn't like Cal, Stanford, and SMU.
HOO86 • 01/30/24 06:00 PM ET
Add Miami to that**
VTCALS72 • 02/01/24 09:09 AM ET
In a sense yes, Miami.
