Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 4830896, member: 7277"] The only thing the ACC has in order is the GOR through 2027. The additional 9 years were illegally extended because the original timeframe for ESPN to opt into the 9-year renewal has passed. The ACC Commissioner illegally extended the timeline for ESPN to opt in to a 9 year renewal (which it still has not yet done). Conference bylaws specifically state that the member schools must vote on this extension of the deadline and they did not. Therefore, the GOR was illegally extended by 9 years. FSU has a strong case here and it would be wise for the ACC to settle with FSU or risk losing the case entirely, in which most members will scatter to the wind just like in the PAC-12. With a settlement, the amount FSU pays will at least make it difficult for most other schools to afford that exit fee. At least for a few more years. With each passing year, that amount will come down. [/QUOTE]
