Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

So much for an "iron-clad" contract. All i's were not dotted and all t's were not crossed!

I said this all along. If they want to get out. They will.

Boom there you have it. You claim to be opposed to the ACCs actions of the last 10 years but you resigned the GOR in 2016? That math ain't mathing. Fook FSU!

ACC will not add UConn. They listed 10 or so possible candidates for expansion before adding the 3 Sucksateers and UConn isn’t even on their radar.

Only positive scenario for UConn is a total ACC implosion that results in essentially a reformation of the 2003 Big East Conference

If a half dozen teams leave the ACC, UConn has very good chance of being a replacement. ACC will make basketball a priority,

 

[How Sway?!]

With all due respect. The two are linked.

I'm pretty sure once FSU signed, the is and ts were included

ESPN not having a guarantee to extend the deal past 2027 is HUGE. That is FSU's out right there.

Wouldn't this be against them? Part of their argument is that the ACC has failed their duty to adequately get the same rights money as the SEC and B1G and that they are stuck with the same rights fee till 2036. This kind of undermines that point until ESPN extends the deal

Everything else aside, how the F#$% is it possible that a signatory party to a legally binding agreement is not allowed to have an executed copy of said agreement?

 

[ZooCougar]

Right. It’s not like the B1G doesn’t benefit massive from its research partnership. And plenty of other schools use sports to raise money for their endowments. And when I say sports it really just means football.

Seriously, just stop talking.

 

[CashewCrew]

So ND makes less than the Big East for non-football sports, interesting.

Are they a signatory party though? Isn't the legally binding agreement between ESPN and the ACC and not the ACC members et al?

So NDs payment is roughly in line with what BE schools get? Seems fair.

 

[UConnJim]

Includes 2 to 3 football games per year.

 

[noeynox]

Includes 2 to 3 football games per year.

Huh. ND underpaid by them by a lot then and they don't bitch, which shows how much they value Independent status.

ESPN podcasts, Thamel, Herbstreit etc are mostly schills for their corporate bosses.

If you think ESPN is telling Herbstreit what to say, yiu have no credibility.

Maybe. the sooner the "Super conference" comes together, the better. The teams not in those two top level conferences can re-engineer B league college football and start playing regionally again. UConn won't be in that club but I think there is potential for a pretty robust B league over time. Some really good programs are going to get left out.
