Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 5287521, member: 3850"] You know...Clemson's board meetings are closed and not open to public or reporters....the reason FSU seems almost alone in this suit (in public perception) is because of Florida's laws. Every meeting between two or more BOT members must be publicly noticed in Florida and proceedings are open to the public/press. Clemson's BOT was free to discuss, table bang, or whatever...we will never know because the proceedings are kept secret. But it is FSU's tenacity that did expose the ACC's secretive manipulations regarding the GOR, ESPN Agreement, the hidden clause in the ESPN Agreement that the ESPN Contract ended in 2027 unless extended in 2021....The ACC tried to hide that and the lawyers caught them....and thus a settlement. ACC/ESPN probably didn't relish the idea of John Skipper and Swofford on the stand being questioned regarding Swofford's insistence on Raycom as a sub (and the re-examiniing of his son as a Raycom exec.) I think it was a learning experience for FSU...in that you can't sign things without review, pesky public information laws or not. And when your contract partners keep the actual documents a top code, red letter top secret...you know that something is rotten in Denmark. But FSU was always the red headed step child of the ACC....winning 10 of the first 11 ACC football championships after their entrance rubbed the proud Carolina crowd the wrong way...and then a study was initiated and published illustrating the ACC's attempts to hobble the strong football teams via officiating. The officiating turned around some when it became clear that it was being reviewed by outside consultants. My fate cries out, And makes each petty artery in this body As hardy as the Nemean lion’s nerve. Still am I call’d. Unhand me, gentlemen. [/QUOTE]
