Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4979717, member: 3850"] HUH ? How about being hoodwinked by a conference staff protecting their jobs ? Maybe fraudulently ? The last numerous years the ACC spread the story that the ACC GOR was not only ironclad but also had an end date of 2036. The ACC also spread stories that the ESPN agreement had an end date of 2036 tied to the GOR. I do understand why folks bought the stories... for who thought that the ACC head office would mislead folks, especially their ACC member schools. Now, the ACC has admitted in court that the contact is through 2027. And, as it turns out, The ACC-ESPN Agreement states ESPN had to declare that they were going to extend it to 2036 by the end of 2021. Without consulting his Members, Jim Phillips, ACC Commissioner, unilaterally gave ESPN an extension to until 2027 to declare to renew the ACC-ESPN Agreement. Only when new leadership at FSU starting asking questions about the reality of such in the ESPN-ACC Agreement, and when answers to specific questions were not satifactory, did they request to get a copy of agreements with ESPN. That was not allowed but, under demand, a lawyer could only review the document in a 'secure' site, take no copies, not pictures, and not even notes (and ain't that strange ?). The ESPN-ACC Agrrement is a 160 page legal document and a viewer basically had to memorize and recall what was in 160 pages with a limited time to do so. The ACC provided the court with only 13 of 160 pages declaring the rest was a secret. Sooo...it looks more and more like an ACC admin office that mislead their members, the press and the public, and who put self preservation above corporate honesty. [/QUOTE]
