FSU Suing ACC over withdrawal Fee

Sign me up.

 

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.

 

Stupid clown school

 

Florida Attorney General ends lawsuit against ACC over ESPN deal

 

Do you think this has much influence over the lawsuits between SWAC and the ACC?

 

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.
