I believe ......

I made what I was thinking clear but, if you really have questions feel free to ask. Not angry, just not willing to surrender the narrative or this board to trolls who claim to value discussion but, whose behavior screams they are really just here to stir the waters with propaganda. People will tend to believe most anything if they hear it enough and these boards have plenty of evidence of that.

Interesting new FSU argument in their court case
HokieAl • 05/22/24 09:23 PM ET
Does the GOR actually say that only rights needed to effect the ESPN deal..
lawhokie • 05/24/24 10:04 AM ET
I don’t know enough about it but I like that stance
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/23/24 10:40 PM ET
Because it does not specifically limit it to ESPN
VTCALS72 • 05/25/24 09:11 AM ET
I cannot imagine that a GOR would be written in such a way to allow that

You wrote all of that because I asked him if he was an FSU fan? Which he
Stech • 05/23/24 10:04 PM ET
OK. People are circling the wagons and talking their books. My point is
TDVick • 05/23/24 10:18 PM ET
I want the facts too, but some are trying to create and not find the facts.
Stech • 05/23/24 10:33 PM ET
Opposing views
INSIDE99 • 05/23/24 02:45 PM ET
No problem with opposing views or if you're FSU which you did not answer

ESPN can end the contract now

VT ChemE 1986 • 05/24/24 09:18 AM ET
I can't imagine ESPN wants to publicly get involved in any way...
SMU Pony • 05/23/24 09:08 PM ET
We don’t know that ESPN can end the deal now
SMU Pony • 05/23/24 01:16 PM ET
Who is that is trying to prevent the actual facts from coming out? It sure
TDVick • 05/23/24 10:11 PM ET
I don't see it that way
SMU Pony • 05/23/24 10:22 PM ET
Just curious. Do you think FSU and Clemson will be in the ACC this fall?
TDVick • 05/23/24 10:41 PM ET
This fall as in 2024? Absolutely, without hesitation, yes...

The GOR Was Changed in 2016
WarHog38 • 05/23/24 09:10 PM ET
If that option actually exists, I'd be shocked if ESPN doesn't exercise it
SMU Pony • 05/23/24 09:22 PM ET
The ACC Network was the reason schools signed the GOR for that length.
wwhokie1 • 05/23/24 04:00 PM ET
No offense, Pony, but it seems as though you don't like the "unilateral"
33laszlo99 • 05/23/24 03:51 PM ET
