Through the FSU Board Meeting today, it was revealed that ESPN only has a guaranteed contract with the ACC until 2027. They have the option to extend that contract through 2036.
This is FSU's out in a court of law. A GOR cannot be extended until the ESPN contract is extended. It is not extended today, the day FSU goes to Court. This will be the out for all the top brands in the ACC.
Additionally, once the top brands leave, ESPN will not extend that contract for the final 9 years because the ACC will not be worth it without the big brands.
In the words of Greg Flugaur, "HOLY SMOKES!"
