IF something exists showing JS told ESPN (or anyone else) the deal had to

Include Raycom, at below market value, than he was likely breaking his Fiduciary responsibility to get the best deal possible. That is a big hill to climb, unless you already have what you need. No one in the ACC is happy with the current TV contract. It would not shock me if someone inside had/was helped FSU get documents/emails ect. IF FSU could show this, it would be enough imo, to potentially threaten the ACC TV contract. This would likely bring ESPN to the table, and imo the best outcome is a NEW TV deal, with FSU staying. Additionally I think the governance structure needs to be improved. IMO University Presidents dont have the time or energy to supervise the conference. Each school should appoint a rep, someone that can meet more than 2 or 3 times a year.

Well it’s true, Attorney’s like people have their own bias/agenda. That’s

Truth here and FSU and Miami, as the only 2 "national" teams failed the ACC**

It is true that ACC football was bad at the most critical time

HokieAl 02/28/24 02:14 PM ET
that is interesting and complaint is more that the ACC did not keep pace

No, it’s a losing argument. Here’s what really happened:

Ok, a question, why would UVA seriously have been/be a target of the SEC

That sounds about right.
