Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 4831461, member: 7920"] From a previously quoted legal assessment: “FSU in the last paragraph asks the court to deem its lawsuit as official notice of intent to withdraw as a member from the ACC and that such notice be effective as of August 14, 2023 (i.e. backdated). Together, these mean that FSU is leaving, the only question is when and how much it will cost.” So this interpretation is that FSU has formally announced they are leaving. Here’s a scenario: Let’s say the courts find some middle ground and settle the exit costs at $250M including GOR and exit fees. FSU says that’s too much, maybe we’ll stay. The ACC says, no thanks, we are ok with you leaving, just pay up. So FSU is booted at that point and has to pay. Then, the SEC and B1G say to FSU, “not so fast”, we want to see how this next tier of FBS plays out, so we aren’t expanding just yet. FSU sits as an independent until the next realignment wave.
