Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4842554, member: 34"] This is a classic negotiating game theory. For the ACC if they win fully, they keep FSU's home game TV rights regardless of whether FSU stays or goes. ACC can lose two ways. The first is the GoR is completely invalidated and FSU walks away scot free. This has the multiplier effect of several other ACC schools most likely doing the same and destroying the conference. The second way the ACC loses is if FSU is allowed to negotiate a price they can pay and a few other schools can pay but most cannot. Then there is a diluted ACC but it still exists. If ACC puts all its eggs on the win only basket and they lose, they get no money and the conference is gone. If they get too weak on negotiating they get some money but conference is severely damaged and bleeds a slow death. The sweet spot is to fight and claw while making FSU pay a huge fee which is cost prohibitive for most of the remaining schools. And that is the solution where I'd put my betting money. [/QUOTE]
