What is your question?

This I assume: "As far as the cost to exit, tell me how you believe that has evolved so we can have a better basis for discussing your fiction versus facts." REPEATED ANSWER: The ACC contract ends before 2036 if ESPN does not extend the option past 2026. That was discovered in the FSU lawsuit after nearly every outlet claimed the contract was unbreakable through 2036. Yea, I would say that is a definition of "evolved". The exit fee is 3X the ACC operating budget. The media rights fee owed to ESPN (not the ACC) is tied into the media contract. If that ends in 2026 the fee is much less than original $500 million reported had the contract ran its course for another 13 seasons. In simpler terms...if someone exits the ACC in 2025 and the ESPN contract runs through 2026 - a member owes one year of media rights + an exit fee. Likely around $150 million. Not another 11 years of media rights. You are going round and round because you don't like the answer. The ACC cannot for example, renegotiate a contract that pays each school $1 a year and then tell the members too bad you signed a contract. When the ESPN contract ends at the agreed to rate, the media rights end. The GoR exit fees do not. If you do not agree, that's your prerogative. But Clemson doesn't even agree the GoR is enforceable. Hence a lawsuit. Tell me, how does the ACC/ESPN contract work using facts?

FSU does not owe a fiduciary duty to the ACC

Another incorrect interpretation.......

Depends on who is doing the interpretation

the ACC will not make this be played out by half knowing at best

This will end in settlement

I am less and less sure of that

INSIDE99 04/05/24 08:09 PM ET
Why would the GOR need to be renegotiated?
VTCALS72 04/05/24 08:25 PM ET
The GoR does not need renegotiated

INSIDE99 04/06/24 01:03 PM ET
I didn't get too far. Does the GOR agreement "guarantee" a figure?
VTCALS72 04/05/24 09:48 PM ET
Schools sold their media rights to the ACC until July 1, 2037
mrcaniac 04/05/24 09:05 PM ET
Yep but FSU wants to make a stew out of the GOR and the ESPN deal.
VTCALS72 04/05/24 09:50 PM ET
Given that the original GOR defined "ESPN Agreement" and the amended GOR

I hear you but that is why I said it will have to be determined in court

Maybe so, but I thought the original agreement addressed that issue by

FSU does not want any part of that.**

Not yet. There may be a couple things in play that could determine if

Because, IMHO. FSU threw so much up against the wall

I wondered when this video would make it here.

These cases are not getting resolved before June lol**
SpeakToDamien 04/05/24 10:29 AM ET
because the contract terms are proprietary?
