OT: Florida State to sue ACC over GOR

[Ha Who]

The Perno years perhaps weren't as bad as we like to remember them. We had some great players. Thompson, McKay, and Alexisinas was one heck of a front court. We were a top 20 team, which was a big deal. I think the biggest knock against Dom is that after securing that much talent, he couldn't produce a more successful team.

My dad actually liked Perno and thought he should've gotten more time. Given who Dom's replacement was, my dad was obviously wrong, something I used to tease him about from time to time.

I always said Boeheim was a Perno with talent. Just my opinion. I understand what you are saying

Perno’s offensive plan, “Just stick the J.”

Long time FSU fan... They do have a long history of being highly touted, lose a game or two early, and then mail it in the rest of the way. Some teams do this occasionally, but as noted, that's the way this team consistently goes and has for a while. Fun to watch when they're rolling, but they have no stomach for adversity. Since they're so consistent, I think it's understandable why the fans tap out early. When they're 'in it', it's appointment viewing, this year...I'd rather mow the lawn.

Their coach looks like the Tampa Bay Rays manager, Kevin Cash. The Rays didn't have a good year, but wouldn't mind a swap...would benefit the Noles AND Sox....2 for 1. Actually, the Noles are kinda like the Red Sox...enough cachet and cash to go from worst to first one year to the next. So, no real reason for fans to hang around for an individual season of suck.

FSU has blocked UConn from the ACC multiple times. They are not friends of UConn, and they are way too arrogant for most people.

Meanwhile, they are trailing Clemson 17-0 after 1 quarter.

One thing about this season of Seminole suck...you get to (possibly) see the Royals knock off the yankees...and not worry that you're missing anything

Perno was a nice guy . A Ct HS and UConn legend .
He was an adequate coach until the Big East exploded.as teams like GT , Syracuse ,Nova , Pitt , St Johns , Seton Hall added talent he was exposed . We were never the DePaul type non competitive., it was those games that we could have won that we somehow figured out a way to lose.that drove us fans crazy .
Firing him was difficult and the state HS coaches were angry.and gave JC a hard time at first . It was suppose to difficult for him to get a top CT kid . Perno had recruited Ct decently, Hanson , Thompson , McKay .
Abro ,, Alex. ,Kelly. were all local . The NIT changed the perception of what UConn basketball could be.

Perno had a team good enough to drill Pat Ewing and Georgetown on their campus. He then coached that team to losses in 7 out of their last 8 games. He should have been fired then. Instead, he got 4 more years.

I didn’t want to give him more time. The program fell off a cliff and had many problems.. But in the 64 team tournament at least a couple of his teams would have made it. 80 and 81 teams were likely tournament teams. And it’s hard to understand now but the move the the Big East was a huge upgrade.

Article released today looks to obliterate FSU’s case. There is no extension option on the ACC network. It already runs through 2036, and the GOR applies.

The negotiated cost of leaving the ACC would be much lower if only the ACCN GORs impact FSU's departure.

Perhaps. But 12 years is a long time. Add to that the cost of both for the next two seasons and the general exit fee and the price gets pretty significant really fast.

The league is within its rights to counter sue for the legal costs of defending this frivolous lawsuit by FSU and Clemson that was really just performance art for their fans.

 

[uconndogs]

Maybe FSU should suit up some of their attorneys and get them on the field. Couldn't do much worse than what's out there now.

 

[upstater]

The reason I find this latest development hard to believe is SMU, Cal, Stanford.

I thought that FSU was full of it prior to last year when the ACC panicked with crazy additions.

Something doesn't smell right.

Willing sacrificial lamb or a canary in the coal mine…

-> It was a small procedural win for the Seminoles in their half-a-billion-dollar, multi-state litigation with the league, but Florida State’s outside counsel also framed it as necessary progress for an entire college sports ecosystem trying to figure out the future of one of the Power Four conferences and two of its biggest brands.

“Having uncertainty and having no answers is not helpful…” Florida State’s outside counsel, Peter Rush, said in a virtual court hearing. “I think everyone needs this to move forward and reach at least a closer place to resolution so that everyone — the ACC, Clemson, Florida State, all the members of the ACC, every conference in the United States — can have some certainty as to what the rules are and actually what these contracts say.” <-

This framing tells you their argument on the contract they signed sucks.

The world is depending on this decision. Humanity cannot proceed until we know.

FSU “Who’s the coach at Vanderbilt and does that quarter back have another year?

 

[CL82]

It doesn't sound like someone who thinks they're going to prevail, does it?

Even in a Bye week, FSU gets a loss.

This lawsuit is such a dog they cannot even coherently explain what they're suing for.

They all know what's in the contract; they signed it.

[bendm]

not relevant to anything but UConn's helmet design is so bad, it looks so JV. hopefully they can go back to the block C on the side when we join the BIG12.
