Florida State Will Not Be an ACC Member in the Future | Conference Realignment | ACC 

Pretty much all u ever have to do these days to get out of any deal. I’d love to see the whole thing played out

The ACC has nothing to lose at this point. They go scorched earth. It’s all copyright law headed to Federal Court. Probably in the Northern District in Florida

So your point is that ACC, ESPN and Florida State all violated Florida State law? So Florida State who was surely represented by counsel was unaware they were in violation of Florida State law or knew that the GOR was violating Florida state law and advised Florida State to sign GOR anyway??? This is just silliness.

@@becks89 Let the lawmakers need decide/investigate how silly it is, not a keyboard want to be.

Florida’s Sunshine Laws are key here.

@@photo2george523 hardly a wannabe simply asking questions how could Florida State’s counsel previously knew of this and advised Florida State to sign GOR. Florida sunshine laws require for a right of access to inspect which I believe they have.

lol good luck any private company signing FSU ever again!

It's possible ESPN fully intends to extend the contract but is waiting because they have no incentive to commit to it earlier than the deadline.

ESPN may prefer to own the playoff over more of any ACC deal..

Espn sucks

The actual end of the Contract is Feb 2027 because ESPN had to extend before Feb 2021 and Jim Phillips extended that option date illegally and thus ESPN may not even be able to extend their option because it is expired.

FSU isn't going to the B1G. Might as well stop wasting brainpower on that. Remember FSU & ESPN are not at odds here.

Money talks. If FSU comes up with 300M or so, they might be able to negotiate a buyout to avoid a prolonged and costly legal battle for both sides. But why spend that much to get out, when the ACC offers an easier path to the playoffs?

@@atgdcommish608b10 and sec offer a much easier path! What are you talking about!?

@@atgdcommish608also acc knows they messed up they will settle

@@atgdcommish608Two things. One, FSU will not pay $300m to exit, more like $200m. Two, the payout gap between what the P2 teams get and what the ACC teams get will grow to $30-40-50m a year and FSU cannot afford to pay that deficit out of their own pocket. FSU has to get P2 money to stay competitive. FSU wants a fair market value for their product which is understandable. Last year, FSU put $78m into the coffers of the ACC and only got a measly $36m back. That is a $42m deficit in just one year. That can’t continue.

@@atgdcommish608 easier path to the playoffs? The football program will die if it falls 40 mil behind other brands per year!

This is such a tired argument. So a comment that Coach Bowden made 30 years ago when the entire landscape of college football should mean fsu is not allowed to want something different now? The entire university leadership is made up of all new people now, why would Bobby’s comment from 30 years ago matter now?

ACC was fine without FSU.....SEC doesn't want the dumpster fire that is FSU. ESPN is going to lose here. FSU is just going to stay upset.

Nobody wants fsu with all of their low academics, non AAU membership, and questionable ethics. Look at all of fsu's lengthy sleazy history to prove my point. It's not always about the money.

@@wa1w511 My post went clear over your head. I'm sure you meant to make this reply somewhere else.

@@xfacta334 sorry if I changed the subject on you....5am post 📫

Why would FSU nullify the agreement? That would make FSU a free agent where they could go to Big 10 where Fox owns the rights.

August 1st, 2025 until FSU joins the Big 10

​@@davidbrown386 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no

@@davidbrown386that’s what I’m thinking.

Just makes FSU haters nervous that’s all

Go google CFB attendance. There is a listing of schools for the 5 year period from 2018 to 2022. FSU ain't all that in that listing

Are you sir saying that FSU has no standards or principles? Because if you are I suggest you do some real research and see what are the true arguments. Here is a thought, use your computer for good and find the actual court documents to read.

Sec doesn’t have GOR

@@richardbrookins5406 I'm guessing you're a FSU fan? Let me put it another way, suppose you met a woman that wanted to marry you and you found out she had just gotten a divorce, would you not want to understand that situation thoroughly before you married her? I know everybody has their facts they want to believe but at the end of the day FSU signed a contract and now they want out of it.

Mattclark, pretty dimwitted argument, my friend. May want to think things through a little more.

@@mattclark6482if I met a woman and she told me she had gotten a divorce, I would say awesome because I don’t like messing with married women and better yet, she knows what she wants and currently she wants me. It’s crazy how I have run into a few of you people who believe that breaking an agreement, an oath, a bond is a stain on someone or something’s character. I suppose that’s why there are so many unhappy people today. Take it from a combat vet. You only get 1 shot at this thing called life, you can put yourself in any box you want, you can wrap yourself in the heaviest chains, you can even tie yourself down with the finest silk but there are going to be changes in life and people are going to change with it. Ideas of morality and values are all fine and well . They are a great guide to your path but know this, you chose the path, you chose the ropes, the chains, the boxes and the armor. You can live your life however you want with or without all those bounds because you can bet your ass that everyone else is going to live their life with or without your values.

Yeah are you a lawyer or financial analyst

@@kodiakgriz2296 both

Think ESPN/SEC has ruined college football with greed

JuneBaby01, Might be time to grow up.

Is there an English language translation?

@@LoCoVANoleno actually it might be time to get your head out of your ass, and quit allowing MAGA to shape your thoughts...

You obviously haven't followed the story.

Bad contracts are not honored in America. Sunshine & Antitrust laws address/expose this.

Law School 101- Contracts are made to be broken.
