The assessment seems good, of anything it is more generous towards FSU than it should be.  FSU pushed for the increased withdrawal fee and pushed for the GOR.  This combined with the fact FSU has a top level legal staff and access to state attorneys began the question of how FSU was swindled?  FSU has a law school, too.  The writer points this out at the end discussing sophistication of both parties.

What is not discussed is that several other schools within the ACC and outside the ACC have scrutinized the GORs and concluded it was not worth the cost and hassle to attempt to break the GOR.

Finally, the Florida court will likely look foolish hearing and ruling on the matter when the agreements plainly declare NC as the jurisdiction and venue for any litigation added to the fact that the first shot was fired by the ACC by filing their lawsuit in NC the day before FSU filed in FL.

In short, FSU has a mountain to climb, has no climbing gear (money to buy back their rights), has no climbing boots (the contract is against them), has no climbing guide (the law is mostly if not completely against them), and has no supplies (idiot for an AD, foolish BoT, and suckered donors and fans).  A long legal battle can cost more than the withdrawal fee (you know, the one they fought for).

My guess is that FSU makes this short or key FSU personnel lose their jobs.
