Lot's of games being played by FSU with lawsuit, They did not file suit
Against ACC until December 23rd 2023, but claim date that should be deemed date of notice to acc that they are leaving is August 14, 2023 crazy BS. I think that is date fsu first privately asked for plan to leave by Aug 2024.
Laughable. This week fsu AD told media he and fsu president had never said they were leaving acc and had not given notice.
Required notice in ACC by-laws is One Year. Best fsu could hope court recognizing as date of notice is date of lawsuit imho, which would mean they can't officially leave until December 23, 2024. This means ACC will not drop below 15 before SMU joins on July 1, 2024 and Stanford and Cal join August 24, 2023.
FSU can try and leave as of 12/22/2024, whether court will accept that as meeting by-law requirements? Who knows, without Required notice, I'd imagine they open themselves up to major damage suits by acc and remaining members. Given statement by AD this week, court might not recognize any date prior to May 15, 2024 lol!
Bottomline, I think both Clemson and FSU will be members and litigation between both and ACC still unresolved when espn has to renew through 2036 in Feb. 2025. What happens then
I do not know? I am not even sure what this look-in allows espn to do? Can they actually dump entire contract or just renegotiate/adjust Financials? If they can just end K with ACC beyond 2027, then I guess they can cause conference to collapse. Will they? Can they without serious risk of being sued for damages by most of acc and losing?
The merit based distribution ACC has already agreed to would allow Clemson or FSU to make an additional 25 mil annually. So let's say B10 distributes 80 mil per school in 2024 + 21mil pers school in playoff revenue total 101mil. Let's say ACC distributes 50mil and FSU/Clemson max out at 25mil on playoff payout. This puts gap at 26mil. not great but not the 40-50mil gap that has been media narrative. I could envision a scenario where espn adds $$ to pot when they renew in February 2025 to ensure ACC can keep league together and ACC adds these $$ to the payoff $$ merit based pot. Can this get top ACC schools to within 10mil or less a year of B10/SEC payouts?
I feel like Clemson and FSU and ACC are in a dragway game of chicken who pulls off before head on crash?

That's kind of my point. If FSU pulls an SDSU it would be very dumb.
