Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1462765, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 36m36 minutes ago @forrestatty Regarding GoR there is too much we don't know. Compensation for signing GoR most importantly. Forrest Clinard ‏@forrestatty · 36m36 minutes ago @theDudeofWV well if you are saying we don't know why run around saying it's invalid? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @forrestatty I'm getting to that. ESPNs president said ESPN owns all the rights to all ACC content. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 35m35 minutes ago @forrestatty The increased payments from ESPN. Are they recurring? Or one time payment? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 34m34 minutes ago @forrestatty What everyone misses is the link between the ACCN & the GoR. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @forrestatty So the payment must be on options for ACCN. When does that expire? 2016 is everyone's guess. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 33m33 minutes ago @forrestatty Its also clear the ACC had to convince FSU to sign the GoR. How did the ACC do that? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 33m33 minutes ago @forrestatty By projecting profits from a potential ACCN & telling FSU a GoR was necessary. The ACC says no promises were made. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 32m32 minutes ago @forrestatty But they certainly told FSU a ACCN required FSU to sign a GoR. The ACC also told FSU it would be up by 2016-2017. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 31m31 minutes ago @forrestatty there is no question FSU signed the GoR solely because of the projections & assurances made by the ACC. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 30m30 minutes ago @forrestatty If ESPN passes on the ACCN that kills the ACC GoR. It only exists as an instrument to implement a network. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 27m27 minutes ago @forrestatty Unlike the Big 12, SEC, P12 or B1G were the GoR was required for their respective TV deals the ACC GoR does what if no ACCN? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 27m27 minutes ago @forrestatty The ACC doesn't have to worry about the Big 12. It has to worry about the SEC & Big Ten. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago @forrestatty Is a contract valid without compensation? Can a state school grant rights for intangible benefits? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago @forrestatty are the ESPN payments for the GoR or for an option for the ACCN? They are clearly for the option. Do you agree? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 24m24 minutes ago @forrestatty FSU was turned down by the Big 12 & Big Ten. They wanted out. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 24m24 minutes ago @forrestatty So is the payment by ESPN, in your opinion., compensation for the not picking up ACCN or for the GoR? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago @forrestatty So the question is if ESPN passes on the ACCN is the GoR valid? Is there a breech? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 16m16 minutes ago @forrestatty Because there is major concern among ACC schools about what happens if ESPN passes. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @forrestatty You can deny the central question all you like. But the ACC GoR depends on ESPN picking up ACCN by the end of A-year 20156. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago @forrestatty Otherwise I'm certain rights revert back. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago @forrestatty Clearly FSU is concerned about the delay. Clearly there is a link between FSU signing the GoR & ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago @forrestatty I'll add this too. Off the record officials at VT & NCST have told me the ACC GoR isn't binding. [/QUOTE]
