Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4828272, member: 1646"] Southern states (which Florida is in most respects) and their schools don't care about laws when it comes to their football programs. I'm kind-of an attorney (by degree), but I'm not a litigator, so I'm not holding this out as anything more than a typical message board idiot. If they can keep this in Florida courts, those judges will find a way to make it easy on FSU. They will find the GOR unenforceable against a state school, and the exit fee will be reduced to a "fair" amount (fairness as determined by a Florida court, of course). It wouldn't, however, set any precedent for any other school of interest (Miami being private). If the ACC can get this to Federal court, and if a different state or federal law is used, it's a different ballgame. FSU won't have as favorable of a forum, but if they win, it could help the schools in NC, VA.... I guess this has been the end game all along. It just might be coming earlier. Will the ACC leftovers even be worth joining for UConn? We'll see soon enough I guess. [/QUOTE]
