Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 1692920, member: 55"] I hate even commenting on what the Dude says, but let me make one point as a business lawyer. If, as he says, ESPN met with FSU Trustees individually, than nothing that they said in those meetings can be used to give FSU "wiggle room" to get out that the other members dont' have. Why? Because Trustees as a matter of law have no power to act for a university -- they only get to vote and, collectively by virtue of their votes, direct and/or authorize officers of the entity to act. Nor do they have any power to speak for the University individually as a Trustee. Which means that there can not be an oral contract between FSU and ESPN or the ACC itself based on what was said in a meeting with an individual trustee. So if anyone needed more proof that the Dude's main purpose here is just to pull stuff out of his butt to denigrate the ACC as punishment for not offering to take WVU .... [/QUOTE]
