Makes sense. FSU's exit could still be delayed while the appeals run their

course which could add on 1-2 years depending on how quickly the courts want to move on the issue for both lawsuits.

Are we seeing an SDSU moment with FSU? Will they go through all of this and

The tea leaves on FSU.
Maroon Baboon • 12/23/23 12:14 AM ET
Very thorough analysis, Maroon. You hit every critical point.**
33laszlo99 • 12/23/23 11:35 AM ET
Pretty sure they have a B1G invite if they get out, AAU’s not a requirement
Stech • 12/22/23 11:47 PM ET
Jimbo didn’t think so
Marooned • 12/22/23 11:06 PM ET
Just Re-open the Contract With the Pro Rata Clause
WarHog38 • 12/22/23 10:23 PM ET
The B1G got UW and the Ducks at a discount
Marooned • 12/22/23 11:18 PM ET
This is just advanced notice of intentions
hokieZ71 • 12/22/23 10:04 PM ET
This is why I keep asking "Where are they going?"
HOO86 • 12/22/23 09:51 PM ET
How did Miami and University of South Florida become AAU schools?**
Atlee Hokie • 12/23/23 02:17 AM ET
Happened 6 months ago.
HOO86 • 12/23/23 09:57 AM ET
Medical schools most likely. Research attached to those programs. **
HokieDon • 12/23/23 09:52 AM ET
not as big as med school but being 10 feet from FWRI doesn't hurt either **
daveinop • 12/23/23 10:21 AM ET
There are articles out there now saying they could be on an island, and

Even if FSU won the lawsuit, does that automatically mean that FSU has to
VTHokie2000 • 12/22/23 10:29 PM ET
I doubt FSU does this and then sticks around.
HOO86 • 12/22/23 10:36 PM ET
Well, if no invite is on the table
Marooned • 12/22/23 11:13 PM ET
UT & OU stuck around to honor the Grant of Rights.
HOO86 • 12/22/23 11:22 PM ET
If a court says the ACC's GoR is enforceable, then FSU will have to stay.**
tarheelblue • 12/23/23 01:44 AM ET
They could pay the $572 million and leave I guess.
HOO86 • 12/23/23 09:38 AM ET
They’ll wait it out until the cost to leave is something they can tolerate
Marooned • 12/23/23 03:47 PM ET
They want to leave the ACC because they think they need more money.
tarheelblue • 12/23/23 12:45 PM ET
if they had Texas oil money, they probably would just pay & leave.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/23/23 09:46 AM ET
Is it true what FSU said in its suit , that ACCN is only guaranteed ...
Atlee Hokie • 12/23/23 02:26 AM ET
this was the only new info in the whole filing; and all we have is their
daveinop • 12/23/23 10:38 AM ET
This is probably the most favorable contract ESPN has.
HOO86 • 12/23/23 09:42 AM ET
They stuck around to avoid paying out through the nose to leave
Marooned • 12/22/23 11:28 PM ET
We're saying the same thing effectively

VTHokie2000 • 12/22/23 10:42 PM ET
The desired date is posted in their lawsuit.
4x4hokies • 12/22/23 10:49 PM ET
The discovery in this case could get brutal
Marooned • 12/22/23 11:26 PM ET
Dunder Mifflin should become a sponsor of the ACC during this
mrcaniac • 12/23/23 01:55 AM ET
ESPN will get dragged into this discovery process too.**
tarheelblue • 12/23/23 01:42 AM ET
I think the required notice is more than 12 months.
HOO86 • 12/22/23 11:08 PM ET
If FSU wins, then it will be interesting to find out who is their mystery
VTHokie2000 • 12/22/23 10:55 PM ET
If it is the SEC, the ACC may have an opportunity here.
HOO86 • 12/23/23 12:18 AM ET
If it is the SEC, then it could also put a strain on the ACC's relationship
VTHokie2000 • 12/23/23 09:36 AM ET
It must be the B1G. Nothing else makes sense.
Marooned • 12/23/23 12:22 AM ET
You hit on something here that I don't see being discussed. There has
Big12 guy • 12/23/23 11:56 AM ET
That will all come out in the discovery process for this court case.**
tarheelblue • 12/22/23 11:15 PM ET
I think most people would agree there are only 3 choices. The more
VTHokie2000 • 12/23/23 09:39 AM ET
Just don't know at what point ACC stops paying them
HOO86 • 12/22/23 10:46 PM ET
The money could be the least of FSU's worries because the ACC could find
VTHokie2000 • 12/22/23 10:52 PM ET
That's part of why I don't think they'll want to stick around.
HOO86 • 12/22/23 11:01 PM ET
I'm guessing their money stopped today.
