Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4618098, member: 1737"] From TechSideline: [HEADING=2]FSU's plan to get out? Never heard this before. From Flugaur's show today.[/HEADING] It was the last thing he mentioned in his recent 2-hour show. I linked to it at the 1:59:13 point below where he starts to talk about it. Only about 2 mins. Here's the gist of it. 1. It all depends on Notre Dame leaving the ACC early. 2. If this happens. FSU thinks that the 2036 obligations could then come back to 2027. And after that, FSU (and others) would be free to leave. 3. Side note: regardless of the above, ACC schools would be happy if Notre Dame left early since ND has now shown its hand, having no interest in joining for football. 4. Also in the show he says that FSU doesn't think that dissolving the conference though the rumored 8 votes is doable. And they are not trying to do that. Anyway, has anyone heard this anywhere else before? I wish he would have went into more detail. But maybe that's all the info he had. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 4/5/2023, 11:41:53 PM Link:[URL='https://www.youtube.com/live/B7k0ZY33xfE?feature=share&t=7153'] FSU and GOR/TV Contract[/URL] [I]Posted: 04/05/2023 at 11:40PM[/I] [HEADING=2]I'll be the one to say it. Flugaur is right. FSU is leaving early.[/HEADING] They are not being coy about it. ACC fans are in denial because it will be so horribly disruptive.. It's coming. They have said so. They have given notice. Remember the recent FSU board meeting? Flugaur says they have three options in mind: 1 - The original GoR carried an expiry date of 2027. The revised GoR was extended to 2036. The ACC does not give money to the schools in exchange for their media rights. They offer "consideration." The consideration specified for the extension was access to the ACCN cable network and the inclusion of some Notre Dame content in the ACCN programming. If ND should leave The ACC, FSU will claim that they are no longer getting the consideration that they were offered in exchange for extending the deal. This won't invalidate the GoR entirely, but could cause a return to the original 2027 expiry date. That's a short enough interval to allow FSU to bail out. The drawback here is that the whole scheme depends on ND leaving the conference in the next couple of years. 2 - The outcome of Johnson v. NCAA seeking to declare college athletes employees of the university for whom they compete. Put simply, FSU will claim that this so drastically changes the nature of college sports, that existing business relationships can no longer serve the parties involved. Many schools will be unable or unwilling to continue athletics if they must meet a payroll for the players. This plan too, depends on externalities, those being the judgement and the timeline. 3 - This is the ugliest road but the one that FSU can follow independent of other parties. FSU will simply withdraw from The ACC, invite the lawsuit, and allow The State of Florida to take up the fight on their behalf. The legal fight would be more affordable for the state government. Flugaur indicates that Clemson intends to use this same tack. ** Edited by 33laszlo99 at 4/6/2023, 5:48:14 PM [/QUOTE]
