Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4890912, member: 3850"] It looks like ESPN’s trade secret is really the way they fashion their conference agreements. The convoluted way the contracts are signed and the intentional confusion over the GOR/ESPN Agreement/Conference Bylaws seems to be one of their biggest trade secrets… and ESPN does not want it clarified. It’s the way they do business. This is at the heart of FSU’s complaint. When FSU's attorneys discovered that the ESPN Agreement binds payments to the ACC only though 2026 unless extended (while members have been told it was through 2036)...well, it hit the fan. Lawyers will dance and bill hourly rates, but it will be businessmen who determine where this goes...my bet is a settlement. [/QUOTE]
