If the race to the courthouse win is important…then so should be the fact that FSU had not actually filed the suit when the conference took the preemptive strike. In other words, does an actual filing matter or not, timing wise? Seems the ACC wants its cake and eating it too

Yes, the lawyer broke everything down very well. However, if the cases get kicked up to the federal court system, the cases will end up in the Supreme Court, This is because Florida is in the 11th Circuit and North Carolina is in the 4th Circuit.

@garlandalmarode6396 3 ай бұрын

Same thing could be said about Fsu and Florida.

@observer466 3 ай бұрын

There is a major inconsistency with the following two arguments. ACC argues that FSU effectively communicated their intention to breach (anticipatory breach), so their suit was not premature. At the same time the approval was retroactive. If it was so clear the ACC could file, since FSU was about to file suit, then why did the ACC not get approval in advance? Either FSU imminent filing was clear or it was not. If clear have a vote, including all members. I think that the FSU Board of Trustees argument is weak. The president of FSU clearly had apparent authority. I believe that there will be a stay. Will a NC judge really be willing to rule on FL sovereign immunity and then watch as a Florida court could reach an opposite ruling on its own state law? The NC judge must consider Florida law since it is a sovereign entity. I believe that both cases will go on, particularly with the AG of Florida involved, which I take for granted will happen.

Question is, who would have been the two thirds? I could see wake forest, Boston college, syracuse for sure, maybe Pitt and Louisville. Highly doubt any of the magnificent seven (Clemson, Miami, UNC, UVA, NCST, VT) would have voted yes. Duke? GT? ND?

Definitely yes to Duke, GT, & ND- NCSU and VT likely would have as well. They don’t really have (or want in ND’s case) a landing spot other than maybe B12.

ACC and its members should thank FSU. Exposing the bad ESPN deal allows the remaining conference members to negotiate a better media deal. #Free FSU! FSU to B1G! Go Noles!

@garlandalmarode6396 3 ай бұрын

The Acc is going to get a much better deal then they had. Fsu didn't have the foresite to realize that and they ll go off to a conference far away. Just when the playoff expands and it ll be easier to make the playoff. What Fsu is doing makes no sense. They ll be paying out millions a year to the Acc, not really doing better. Meanwhile the Acc gets a much better deal with expanded playoffs. Fsu is really missing it.

@marym9023 3 ай бұрын

Does the ACC have to also publish its meeting minutes to its members? If they had a secret meeting with only 10 of their weakest links who all unanimously voted in favor of suing FSU, FSU, as a member, should have access those minutes. And, is there anything in bylaws about excluding members from voting? Seems crooked to do an after the fact vote without all the members. Lastly, can we argue that exclusion from voting rights = not a member. Go Noles!

Did Florida State know about the clause in the contract that ESPN could unilaterally extend the contract in 2027? If they didn't know about this prior to signing the contract could this impact the case and Florida State's attempt to leave the conference?

@@jrjd63 that’s not likely at all. There are 15 members currently. 4 to 6 will leave eventually. The rest will sit tight to get all the exit fee money and GOR money that may be paid. If the Pac2 can hang on with just 2 members for the next two years, 9 or 10 schools in the ACC will definitely keep it going for as long as they have a media deal of some sort. If espn doesn’t back out in the next two years, the ACC just adds USF, Navy, Army and Tulane plus however many it needs to get back to the 15 member number that ESPN has stipulated.

@dougrohan6746 2 ай бұрын

Great question! The PAC2 just approved language in their deal that if the conference collapses, a percentage goes back to the members who paid the exit fees. This keeps them from just closing the doors and pocketing the money. I suspect any FSU / CLEM deal would include similar language.
