Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 5168690, member: 668"] That's interesting. It has been argued, somewhat emphatically here, that ESPN is embedded as a major benefactor in this "sweetheart" type deal. That their deal with the ACC is well below the alleged market value. So, why would ESPN [I]opt out[/I] in 2026 and give up such a profit maker for them, especially, if the GOR is as [I]Iron Clad[/I] as alleged? Wouldn't they just stay put, not [I]opt out[/I], continue to reap their significant profits and (due to the plaintiffs extremely alleged weak position, et al) let the disgruntled remain disgruntled until the plaintiffs (along with other obvious players not currently litigating) inevitably bolt down the road (2030 range or thereabouts anyways) when the GOR doesn't carry as much financial weight? Therefore, if indeed the case, not a good financial reason to throw them any bone at all? [/QUOTE]
