None of the cases you cited.....

found the fees exorbitant or unreasonable and their resolutions came on different grounds. The current fees were established and, more importantly, agreed to in processes designed to comply with previously established court precedents. Clemson and FSU are entitled to litigate to their heart's desire and the courts will decide absent an earlier settlement that likely only comes about with a lot of money from somewhere. Moreover, it would seem likely any new landing spot prior to the resolution of the legal cases will come with an entirely different set of concerns, somewhat akin to looking to marry someone before their previous divorce is final.

The latest on Florida State, ACC, Clemson lawsuits
WBGV • 06/06/24 11:15 AM ET
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

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
