FSU to the B1G

[SoDakHawk]

Yes and it’s exactly what I said to do almost a year ago.

Which is?

I'm not going to dig up your old posts, so a condensed breakdown would be nice.

My thoughts are that one angle of attack should be that the ACC admitting Stanford, Cal, & SMU materially changes the conference. Basically, when FSU signed the GOR this is not what they signed up for.

That was discussed this morning.

I resurrected the old Boo no FSU or Clemson thread that had my thoughts.

The ACC doesn’t have a SCIF!
WTF!

First time someone said that I’d encourage them to try and enforce it without submitting a copy in court and forget it existed.

I just can’t wrap my head around how this is a thing. How a state entity can have a binding multimillion dollar contract, and we don’t have a copy?

That is crazy. You’d think it would be a violation of a couple laws.

So my question for those better connected or who are lawyers:

Does this set up a potential long settlement process that could stretch out for years?

My thoughts are this enables FSU to leave, paying no penalty or losing GOR until the dust settles. If so, I would think we could join another conference if offered, and both parties have worked the deal out.

Yep, unqualified bozo put FSU in over a half billion dollar hole. He and his pals rigged the selection process so he was the only choice. University of Leon County BAU.

 

[BrunoMars420]

Just listened to that BOT meeting and boy, what a F’d up situation with the GOR and ACC lol. We welcome you Noles to the B1G!

 

[noleclone2]

Another observation, if the court somehow finds quickly in favor of FSU, the ACC is going to instantly fall apart and god willing most teams go BIG12 or BIG. This would be a huge loss for ESPN and perhaps us winning the war after losing the battle December 3rd. Make no mistake the ACC is a major money making product for them. They are paying way less for the product and network and still getting good ratings and revenue. Guarantee it has higher profit margin than a lot of their stuff. If all the good ACC teams go to BIG and BIG12 and ACC is gone, they are losing a huge broadcast product and we will quickly see just how valuable the ACC was since they are already in major financial distress…

Typically, yes. I don’t know if the ACC could somehow get an injunction or restraining order to keep us in place while the litigation proceeds, but failing that I’d think we should be able to move on. Just a matter of damages if we’re ultimately unsuccessful.

Not a lawyer but from reading and listening to your former overlords at Warchant this is setting up a settlement. Thinking is the ACC and ESPN do not want this to enter a discovery phase and will reach a reduced settlement from the 500+ million.

Well good to see someone cares about the University's secondary purpose

Is that why Iowa is up there with Iowa State academics wise?

Again, they’re working off different scales.

Isn’t Iowa ranked higher academically than Moo U?

US News and World Report is biased against Iowa academics? Interesting.

41-7-1 all time vs B1G schools...

Most of those aren’t vs B1G schools.

 

[OrlandNole]

If FSU joins the B1G, they'll be middle of the pack academically and top tier athletically, which is better than being middle of the pack across the board.

By not much

Like ~3/4 of them weren’t against B1G programs.

F that guy. B1G rejected him as commissioner at the last minute. He presided over some bigly scandals at Northwestern.

I’m with @seminole97
This just blows my mind. How can a party to a contract - especially a state institution - be so restricted from viewing the agreement or having a copy?

 

[IowaPackFan]

Which?

All of Maryland— last game was 2013 when part of ACC. All of USC, Nebraska, UCLA, and Washington.

 

[goldmom]

Great move for FSU. That will prevent them from getting screwed over anymore with the playoffs due to them never going undefeated ever again. Smart.

gata logic.
