    Id bet you may actually be a better QB than him (the bar is very very low here)...no way you throw more pick sixes and no way youd give us that beautiful falling on on your ass against Oregon meme. Plus you probably havent raped as many people or failed to recognize the game cant go either way when you are getting beat by 50. You may have even got a degree from a real school too... Im just going out on a limb here. Oh, one last thing...you probably dont have short arms like him.

    This lawsuit is over because they got what they wanted. The other lawsuit is still going. I don’t really think it changes anything yet.

    The irony for those two schools is that neither the B1G nor the SEC want them, so they'd have to go to the Big-12 or go independent. Lol... They obviously never thought this through... Like I said, destroying two entire conferences (the one you leave and the one you go to) has to be financially prohibitive. And they signed that agreement when money was actually worth more. So they can't say that it was too much at the time they signed their contract, since now that fee to leave (in dollars) is worth less than it originally was worth.

    I've just loosely followed this topic & wondering what the legal situation is with the new ACC members if the ACC loses earning potential or falls completely apart if fsu/Clemson leave?

    Yes, this was a lawsuit filed to obtain documents. They got the documents. There was no point in continuing.

    I guess we will see what is in the documents.

    I believe there is language (reportedly) in the ACC media contract that states it can be dissolved if the conference falls below a certain number of schools. So some reports around the addition of Cal, Stanford and SMU described adding those teams as insurance that the ACC would still have enough teams to keep the contract valid if 2 or 4 schools decided to leave.

    And it was a lawsuit filed by the State of Florida on the taxpayer's dime. I guess its good that the ACC gave in and provided the documents so the taxpayers wouldn't get even more hosed with lawyer fees fighting FSU's battles by proxy.

    I wish the PC police will come after them for their mascot. Bunch of folks doing the tomahawk chop seems very racist in this day and age.

    They NEED the cash. They can't afford to fire their coach; again, because they made an agreement that they don't agree with anymore.

    Georgia, LSU, Miami...god I hate those teams. FSU though...its this exact video that really brings my hate home. Its 10 times worse for FSU for precisely what he says. Theyre crybabies, cheats, liars and complainers on a different level than the others and they just dont care at all that they are. I so hope they follow up 2-10 with something at least as bad next year. I want the wheels to fall off, the transmission to fall out an all the clowns to come running out of the VW on fire.

    There is a 12 Step Progarm somewhere for you.

    I believe the only hope for you is the ACC to FSU for damages to the conference. I am not a lawyer, however, I believe that the ACC has a chance to pick up millions of dollars for fraud and damages to their brand.
