Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1462628, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Ask @DanWolken about the concerns within the ACC. If you care to look you can see the fractures in the conference. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty the Big 12 May bluster & vent. But its far more profitable & offers a vastly better product than the ACC. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty The ACC doesn't have to be concerned about the Big 12. They need to be concerned about the Big 10 & SEC. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty The B1G is on record coveting ACC schools. They need southern expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Finally read about the delay In the ACCN. ESPN may just payoff the ACC & pass. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty @DanWolken The ACC GoR is valid only as long as the ACCN is a possibility. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Swofford told FSU & others it was necessary for ACCN. ACC schools received nothing for signing it. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Wrong. The president works for the BoT. Swofford had to pitch ACCN & the GoR to the board. He made promises. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Why is it nonsense? The promise of the ACCN was the only thing that kept more ACC schools from going to the B1G. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Ask around. You'll hear 2017 as the go/no go year for ACCN. Why? Maybe because the GoR has an opt out if no ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Your an attorney. Is a contract valid when the due consideration is not forthcoming as promised? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Can a state school like FSU assign rights without due consideration? Was FSU's BoT mislead by Swofford? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty So why - in the absence of other evidence - do you deny a tie between the ACC GoR & ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @forrestatty Here's the story about why FSU signed the GoR. Necessary for an ACCN. No commitment from ESPN. Swofford made presentation. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 60m60 minutes ago @forrestatty [URL='http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/04/25/acc-commissioner-john-swofford-lobbies-florida-state-grant-of-rights/2113527/']http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...obbies-florida-state-grant-of-rights/2113527/[/URL] … Ok. So if the promised compensation doesn't occur is it valid? No. It's not. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 60m60 minutes ago @forrestatty Tangible compensation must be exchanged for the rights. Florida law may even stipulate fair market value. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 58m58 minutes ago @forrestatty FSU only signed the GoR because Swofford told them it was necessary for ACCN & if ACCN never happens that it's invalid. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago @forrestatty Read the story. BoT told GoR was necessary for ACCN. BoT sold on how much $ they would make. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago @forrestatty the link was implied. Maybe stated. Is the GoR valid without consideration? Is it valid if ACC misrepresented ESPN interest? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 16m16 minutes ago @forrestatty Swofford brought a media consultant. Take a gander at the products of discovery from the UMD trial. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 16m16 minutes ago @forrestatty FSU could easily claim breech or misrepresentation. Forrest Clinard ‏@forrestatty · 21m21 minutes ago @theDudeofWV the GOR resulted in more TV money and a stable conference. That is pretty good compensation. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @forrestatty The money may have been for an option that may expire in 2017. Stable? That's TBD. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @forrestatty And I've looked. So I tried to break it down to simple law. 1. Can a contract be valid with below fair market terms. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago @forrestatty 2. If a GoR was not required as part of a new TV deal. I.e. As a condition and due consideration was not paid is it valid. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago @forrestatty and 3. If ACC misrepresented ESPN interest did it mislead FSU? Forrest Clinard ‏@forrestatty · 18m18 minutes ago @theDudeofWV 3 million per school plus stability. ACCN was not a promise. Why else would you have increased payout if no ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @forrestatty it increased $2 million. FSU didn't sign away its rights for 2 million. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @forrestatty So FSU signed away its rights for $3 million. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @forrestatty No because that's not what happened. FSU BoT is clear they signed GoR for ACCN. Forrest Clinard ‏@forrestatty · 12m12 minutes ago @theDudeofWV that may be clear to you. That's not what Barron said or anybody else. [/QUOTE]
