Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5365894, member: 628"] Yup, the ACC owns the rights to distribute and monetize all member school's media rights as they see fit through 2036. If Florida State left the ACC today and became independent they would not be able to license the rights to their football games. Because those rights are owned by the ACC. Theoretically the ACC could launch Seminoles+, produce all of their games and sell a subscription for the service to fans, and not share a dime with FSU. This same concept applies to entertainment... A few years ago the Paramount corporation decided to license the right to stream the show Yellowstone to NBCU's Peacock service. A year later Paramount then decided to launch their own streaming service but couldn't make available to subscribers it's most popular show. Because they granted those rights to NBCU for a lengthy term. [/QUOTE]
