Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4709691, member: 37"] Yes the ACC conference has the GOR and yes they have a second contract that gives all their members home games to ESPN for broadcasting. It’s this leasing agreement that the ACC is contractually obligated for the time period equal to the GOR to provide content to ESPN. If FSU leaves, the ACC must come up with content to provide to ESPN that ESPN agrees replaces what FSU would provide if they remained. It’s unlikely the ACC can grab a different school that would accomplish this so the ACC will sue FSU to retain all revenues of FSU’s home games as agreed upon by the GOR contract. The conference that FSU goes to would have to agree to take FSU under these circumstances. How likely is the ACC GOR going to win and how likely any conference is going to take a chance on accepting FSU under these circumstances is speculative. [/QUOTE]
