Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4709869, member: 71"] Not exactly. If FSU leaves, it cannot take its media rights without some financial settlement with the ACC. If the ACC settles with FSU, they cannot then sue FSU after ESPN seeks consideration for FSU leaving. The ACC won't settle with any departing schools quickly unless the settlement dollars are large enough that they would be confident they won't lose money over the remaining term of the GOR. If the ACC were to lose one of their marquee football schools (Clemson, FSU), ESPN would immediately move to cut their payments to the ACC (and I'll wager heavily that there is language in the contract allowing for this).
