Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4876204, member: 71"] It could easily be interpreted as constructive acceptance of the GOR terms. Over the four decades I've spent in the corporate world I've seen many instances someone who did not have authority to sign an agreement signed on behalf of the company that employed him or her (have seen this from both sides). Normally the sooner a company responds, the better their chances of a positive outcome but even with this, there is some agreed upon settlement to break the deal (and a few times I've seen someone lose their job because of the issue). It appears that you believe this is some kind of get out of jail free card, that FSU was allowed to keep in their back pocket until they decided it was time to utilize it. I doubt many courts would see it that way. It also appears that FSU is hoping that a favorable venue (case heard in Florida) will lead the court weigh what may be best for a state school above the spirit of contract law. [/QUOTE]
