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.
