"ESPN Gains Money........
By Getting Rid of the ACC as a P4." I'm guessing you remember your words, if not, you can review them in your post above. You went on to boast that you had explained exactly how that was accomplished in posts farther down the board and said, "please read them" as you did not "wish to retype those extended details everyday." When questioned and challenged with contradicting details you ignored them and/or backtracked on what you said. Nothing was ever said that the ACC was "too strong of an asset" to ever lose but, that the gains you asserted and the financial motivation you implied might not be as clear cut as you stated.
As far as your allegation of what I said over a year ago, if it was "over and over" as you assert I am sure you will have no problem linking at least one of those posts so I might refresh my memory and consider the actual context of what I said to see whether you have accurately attributed my words. I do recall saying I thought FSU was just rattling sabers to get more money and, based on a variety of reports, suing to challenge the GOR would be useless, a determination previously and similarly made by UT and OU in waiting to exit the Big 12. I don't believe the results of the currently ongoing cases have yet provided any evidence to the contrary but, would be happy to consider any evidence you might believe says otherwise.
With regards to the rest of your post, you would be well served to keep in mind the words debate the post not the poster.
