The ACC GOR is very specific...it states that the Members assign their rights to the conference only as necessary to meet the obligations of the ESPN Media Agreement.

....so..a specific contract is tied to the grant of rights.  If the agreement ceases to be in force, the GOR is gone.

No one had seen the ACC-ESPN Agreement...now Judge Cooper and FSU's and Clemson's lawyers have an unredacted copy (under court ordered confidentiality)...and, in the court filings we see that Clemson and FSU are saying that the ESPN Agreement was only through 2027.  With a right forr ESPN to extend to 2036, if they exercised that option by February, 2021.

ESPN did not exercise that option and the deadline passed...Commissioner Phillips extended a letter offering ESPN until Feb. 2025 to make that extension decision.  FSU/Clemson are maintaining that the option in the contract had expired...therefore any new deal would take a Member vote and a new GOR to be signed.
