I believe what Clemson and FSU are trying to say is the GoR expires in 2027. They are citing this: “ESPN has the exclusive, revocable option (the “Extension Option”), but not the obligation, to extend this Agreement until [redacted] subject to the remainder of this paragraph (such extended term of July 1, 2027 to [redacted]) the “Extension Term”) by providing written notice to the conference no later than two (2) years after the launch date of the ACC-ESPN Network.” From ESPN Agreement obtained by the Florida AG. If the above is correct, than ESPN had until 2 years after the launch of the ACC Network to pick up the extension. Since the ACC Network launched August 22, 2019, ESPN has until August 22, 2021 to pick up the extension of the contract. FSU and Clemson are arguing that the the commissioner couldn’t unilaterally extend the the pickup date since it was written in the contract. They are also saying the GoR ends when the contract expires so they will be free agents as of 2027. They aren’t trying to break the GoR, they are trying to say it expires in 2027, not 2036. This isn’t my thought, it’s pulled from another board. I only visit 2 realignment boards, I swear I’m not crazy. My wife had me tested.
