Composition Clauses

There are so many composition clauses in these network contracts that even the presidents and BOT don't know about. They are in there to protect the networks mostly, which is why they are all protected as trade secrets the networks don't wish to have revealed through courtroom Discovery. Rumors have been flying about this clause and that clause. Is the GoR good through 2036 in regards to media rights if ESPN does not renew past 2026? That is the biggest legal question out there with different interpretations by hundreds of online lawyers. If Clemson and FSU both leave this summer what are the ramifications now? We know the courtroom battle finish line is way down the road. If I am an ACC school I am already preparing for the departure of Clemson and FSU as if it happened already. When it happens, ESPN will without question pull the current media contract that included both those programs and renegotiate a new contract that will require a new GoR signing by all members. Some things we can't know, others are just logical deductions.

I posted about the composition clause on this board last year.

The SBJ article is 2011 & nothing suggests that artifact still exists
daveinop 04/12/24 09:19 PM ET
There also is no evidence that the composition clause was ever removed

did the AAC have a GOR in their 2019 contract?
daveinop 04/13/24 06:20 PM ET
The GOR is a 4 page legal agreement between the conference and its members.
WBGV 04/14/24 10:00 AM ET
let's assume for a second that there is a composition clause

Money & 2 create insecurity in the Conference Members Minds, like B12 & PAC

Now you know why I came to VT. UF and FSU arrogance was too much for me.

He is about as anti ACC as is out there.
