New York Times Article

This article details the present situation on all four lawsuits involving the ACC. Points out how little has been accomplished so far in those four courts. Soon will be pushing a year and still arguing in those courts about the legal venue location. I particularly noticed this statement within that article. I quote, "The ACC's television deal with ESPN runs through 2027, with a network option through 2036 that ESPN must exercise by February 2025." As we know here, Phillips created that February, 2025 deadline for ESPN. How legally binding is that 2025 date? I think the 2027 deadline is the one that counts I think the way these lawsuits are dragging along all within the light of that 2027 deadline. The only purpose for those courts may ultimately be. Just do decide what a GOR is worth without a media contract? .That will be the only legal issue that is left. ** Edited by WarHog38 at 8/16/2024, 7:02:26 PM

I Think the GOR is Gone if ESPN Reneges on That Re-Signing
WarHog38 08/16/24 11:22 PM ET
GOR isn’t bound by ESPN contract…two separate and not equal entity rights**

Don't think the GOR has anything to do with the contract
