Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5122250, member: 622"] The 2016 amendment extends the term to "June 30, 2036." I did not see a way out for ESPN to cancel the deal in 2027, the original termination date. The 2016 Amendment takes precedence, this FSU's blathering about ESPN having a way out in 2027 was fraudulent as it appears to have been an intentional obfuscation of the facts. I am sure ESPN respectfully disagrees with Alford on his interpretation. I need to read this later for a closer look but the extension seems to lock down Clemson and FSU until 2036. This probably why the SEC and B1G are refusing any assistance, it is not worth their trouble. Recall that the SEC refused to assist UT and OU in a legal battle, the invite was open but they had to figure their own way out or wait until their deal ran out. Likewise, the B1G did the same for USC and UCLA. FSU should start mending fences fairly soon. They should start by firing Alford. [/QUOTE]
