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

The Exit Fee in the ACC Bylaws is well known. It is 3x the annual conference administrative fee. $140 million.

Of course, that may be negotiable. If the courts decide that this fee is designed as a “penalty” rather than an expression of liquidated damages, it could be less.

 

[billybud]

$140 million to FSU-Clemson would not be a stopper. Both are prepared to pay.

Our potential in football is very limited because we're a Northeast school + we prioritize basketball. All of these conferences would probably add OSU, WSU, Memphis, Tulane, Boise, SDSU before even thinking about adding us.

Our potential is not VERY LIMITED. We have strong potential, where were you when we won 2 BE FB conf champs? Give us a chance, we'll win in FB. We are limited by our conference situation. Betting that Mora is gong to exceed those limitations in the next 2 years. Love to hear him say, get us while you can!!

It could be negotiated. But even if it's half that (and the recent Texas negotiation with the B12 tells us that the fee will be much more than half) it still is so exorbitant that you won't make up the difference in the B12 versus current ACC contract over the next 10 yrs.

In other words, there's no financial incentive for FSU's move to the B12. They may want to do it anyway, but we're discussing $$$

For the B1G and SEC yes. For the B12?

 

[billybud]

FSU would only go to the Big 12 if it was a stop gap or if the money was better than the AC

Basketball does not run the money bus. You already know this

Ugh, I hate sitting in China and being unable to see the tweets... Am I excited, bummed, or cautiously optimistic? Or waiting for Lucy to dislocate my spine yet again?

There is no financial incentive that you are aware of.

I have all this bookmarked. When and if this happens you will become my special project.

 

[ZooCougar]

Are you drinking early in the day?

The exit fees are spelled out. The lawsuit is over GOR.

Both conferences are worth more with the most better schools. Right now the ACC has them and the B12 doesn't.

Deal with it.

Also, BYU sucks... at everything.

Everything is negotiated. Not everyone has the business acumen of an academic.

So Texas decided to pay $$$$$ because they had bad academic business acumen.

What's your business? Delusion?

What did UConn pay?

The conference attitude in these situations is always the same. To quote a famous businessman, "not a dime less."

Of course the SEC is more lucrative than the old Big 12.

Obviously the Big 12 has something up their sleeve with FOX or FSU and Clemson are using it to call the B1G and the SEC’s bluff.

Either way I am not talking in circles. We will revisit this and I am ready to laugh at you either way.

Ok. Private equity and college football coach makes no sense.

College Football coaches and private equity are the most indignant people on earth.

College football coaches act like the world resolves around their practice and recruiting schedule, while private equity thinks they are the reason everything exists.

Those, together, is toxic. Imagine a PE telling a football coach his offense is boring and to make it more fun so we can market it?

Lol.

Well, it wouldn't of hurt anyway.
