FSU vs The ACC

Now FSU not making the final 4 is starting to make sense. I'll bet dollar to donut that it was for them to leave the ACC and this may be their "loophole". Sorry but my mistrust for anything Big 10 just makes think things like this.

The meeting is public, so they must already know what they want to say.

FSU meeting to address athletics 'legal matters'

Florida State has called a special board of trustees meeting for Friday morning with one item on the agenda: legal matters related to the athletics department.

These reporters are funny. Who cares about step one when it will take millions of steps to get there?

Suing the ACC because they didn't get in the playoff.
Good luck

The ACC countersuit against FSU for not having a suitable 2nd or 3rd string quarterback is ready and waiting.

They want to leave the ACC because they didn't make the playoffs to go to a tougher league where they'll probably never sniff the playoffs.

Bold strategy.

Reminds me of that scene with Denzel in Philadelphia when he asks the guy that fell into the manhole "You saw the sign and knew what it meant and you still fell into it?. We have a case."

FSU didn’t fail to make the playoff because of a shortage of money. They failed because of a perpetuated SEC bias by the media, and the fact that FSU failed to dominate. Losing their QB played a part, but not a valid part IMO.

A bias perpetuated in part by FSU and Clemson crying about the ACC.

Disney/ESPN would be a party to any litigation on the ACC side. If ESPN and the SEC were to collude with FSU to break the GOR, I would imagine that would be a pretty strong lawsuit against ESPN by the ACC. If Fox and the B1G collude with FSU, then there would likely be a tortious interference of contract claim. This seems like the FSU BOT doing something because they have to do something to appease their fans.

I think leaving the ACC is a short-sighted mistake for FSU. If Jordan Travis doesn't get injured, they're 100% in. It didn't have anything to do with their conference. Their path to a playoff bid becomes much more challenging when they have to navigate an SEC schedule.

I agree, and the playoffs have expanded. They just picked the wrong year to finally be good.

And here comes the private equity, folks! Bunch of short-sighted, money grabbing idiots running college sports.

Does seem that way but I'm curious on what the Big 10 is telling them between buffers.

There is no way whatsoever that failing to get selected by a third party for an event not controlled by the conference is a loophole to anything.

FSU wants to leave, fine the cost to withdraw is defined , they can find their checkbook
