I do believe that a judge from Pickens County, SC

where Clemson is located will find that Clemson’s interpretation of the GOR is correct. And once they have that ruling, Clemson will likely announce their exit from the conference. FSU will likely follow. The ACC will still exist at that point and of course an appeal will be filed. I also don’t think that Clemson is going to pay the exit fee claiming that the financial penalties involved with the ACC's exit fee (three times the ACC's operating budget) are exorbitant and unreasonable. That exit fee will have to be litigated before Clemson and/or FSU or any other school pays anything. In the past, major conference exits fees have been reduced significantly to avoid or end litigation (examples: Maryland, Texas, Oklahoma, etc.) ** Edited by WBGV at 6/6/2024, 1:29:32 PM

The latest on Florida State, ACC, Clemson lawsuits

If that's the case, the GOR is useless.**
EDGEMAN • 06/06/24 02:04 PM ET
If that's the case, sounds like all GOR's are useless. Big if**
wwhokie1 • 06/06/24 08:52 PM ET
No, I think this hinges on the wording of the ACC GOR
lawhokie • 06/06/24 09:07 PM ET
Yeah, we pretty much can as the GOR framework is what ESPN wanted
VTCALS72 • 06/07/24 12:18 PM ET
That’s a huge leap
lawhokie • 06/07/24 03:58 PM ET
FSU and Clemson are trying to make it much bigger than just the GOR
VTCALS72 • 06/07/24 05:57 PM ET
But not the GOR? I still don’t see standing there. **
lawhokie • 06/08/24 06:56 AM ET
As I understand it, the making public of the ACC media deal
VTCALS72 • 06/08/24 08:13 AM ET
He is confusing......
2hhoop3 • 06/07/24 04:46 PM ET
Do you really think that a SC or FLA judge would end it for the ACC?
VTCALS72 • 06/06/24 12:02 PM ET
I do believe that a judge from Pickens County, SC ◄
WBGV • 06/06/24 01:20 PM ET
I think the judge will follow the law…
lawhokie • 06/06/24 09:57 PM ET
That doesn't bother some corrupt judges.
EDGEMAN • 06/07/24 05:19 AM ET
And I do know that MD was better prepared than the ACC but FSU/Cu are not
VTCALS72 • 06/06/24 01:59 PM ET
They do not know the cost of leaving - it's why
Big12 guy • 06/06/24 03:04 PM ET
Agree. That's why all this talk from FSU homers about
Maroon Baboon • 06/06/24 04:34 PM ET
What do you believe........
2hhoop3 • 06/06/24 01:30 PM ET
I believe that there is a reasonable argument that the ACC exit fees
WBGV • 06/06/24 01:49 PM ET
None of the cases you cited.....
2hhoop3 • 06/06/24 02:03 PM ET
There is no marriage being discussed here, only the divorce.**
WBGV • 06/06/24 02:18 PM ET
Which would be then subject to the terms of the pre-nup (i.e. GOR)?**
mjfhokie • 06/06/24 04:48 PM ET
Except the GOR has no connection to the exit fees
HokieAl • 06/06/24 05:23 PM ET
An annulment then? 🤷
Maroon Baboon • 06/06/24 04:29 PM ET
Cute........
2hhoop3 • 06/06/24 02:36 PM ET
The exit fees are liquidated damages. By definition, these fees are rough
33laszlo99 • 06/06/24 01:59 PM ET
You can say it and that is exactly what Clemson and FSU have done.
WBGV • 06/06/24 02:25 PM ET
Unless we have a rogue judge, that’s not the kind of decision for msj
lawhokie • 06/06/24 09:19 PM ET
One good reason could come into view in Feb '25.**
33laszlo99 • 06/07/24 08:57 AM ET
UMD tried to make the case that the exit fee was punitive. Every litigant
33laszlo99 • 06/06/24 03:03 PM ET
Big media doesn't own their rights, the ACC does. it's the only
