In case anyone wants a reminder of GOR:
Seems pretty clear GOR is all about ensuring schools meet their end of ESPN media deal specifically.They are "making **** up" as they go along ... out of panic of pending collapse. The GOR documents we have all read clearly tie the initiation of the GOR TO the ESPN media agreement ... period. Now they are saying it basically has nothing to even do with ESPN ... all conference members simply .... FOR NO CONSIDERATION OF ANY KIND ..... agreed to give the ACC theire media rights until 2036. Not going to hold up ... in court.
I have no idea what that means.
First, why should the ACC be able to "sell them" and "split the revenue"? This is just bizarre. The GOR was supposed to be a conduit, to pass along the broadcast rights to the broadcast partner. It was not supposed to create an ownership interest on the part of the ACC that they could then "sell" to another broacast partner, while they "split" the revenue with whoever's rights they just sold.
Second, WHAT "under the terms of the normal agreement"? Where does the GOR say that the ACC can buy and sell our various TV rights on their own initiative?
This makes no sense at all.
He will find out whenever he visits the dump and needs to take a **** and finds out there’s only a hole where he thought a urinal would be..He learned from FSU fans?!?! That's like learning how healthy crack is for the body and mind from Nino Brown.
Genetics needs to go ask this FSU friends about the plumbing at Doak.
TL;DR for everyone. Well shorter lol.
- lot of fun listening to ACC get owned (as much fun a court session is without a murder trial to shock)
- FSU lawyer did a good job.
- that all said- there was almost no chance this case was getting dismissed in Florida like ACC wanted before the day started, and that's where we ended the day.
To me the interesting part is not around any of that per se- it was a peak into the judge's initial take on a lot of things that would make the ACC (and ESPN) realize they have an uphill battle in the state because of Florida state being a state entity and sunshine laws and could make them and ESPN more interested in the negotiated settlement we all would expect- but much faster perhaps. He also mentioned mediation a dozen times.
In terms of the weird comment the ACC lawyer said around GOR- one of two things happened there IMO @TheOriginalCane
- he made an outright mistake in the interpretation of the GOR and conference bylaws
- OR - the language in the ACC contract with ESPN that no one has seen but could be a smoking gun in fact says that ESPN doesn't get the media rights for a member institution if they withdraw from the league via exit fee or settlement, that FSU and Clemson statement that their as necessary rights to the ACC to negotiate a deal end if they leave the league.
IF the latter, and we don't know, then **** they did find an exit path most likely. Still have work to do in new hearing on 4/22 on discovery (like seeing the ESPN contract as an example) and others.
Few last notes- judge leaned to strongly leaned into the fact that the FSU BOT did not vote to accept the GOR or extension as might be required in Florida law in contrast to the NC court ruling, it came up that the ACC commish flew down at some meeting in the past and said it wouldn't be shown in state, and leaned into the original vote to sue fsu not being handled right- again in contrast to NC court.
There was also a mention that when FSU originally voted on things in 1991, a key NC law the ACC and judge cited (can't recall the name but it's around organizations in the state) didn't even come into existence until 2006 in NC and they are trying to take away the rights of a sovereign without their approval by using this "law".

I think he's a pompous ***!
The amount of life some of you guys give this guy is really sad.
Makes sense. They share the same ******* brain.Three things:
- We've been one of the fanbases that has consistently called him out and said he's full of ****. We don't **** ride him like FSU or give him the "respect" he thinks he deserves. The more he's drank their kool aid the more negative he's gotten on us.
- Every other ACC school not named FSU did exactly what he's saying Miami did.
- When we get into the P2 he's gonna completely flip his position and pretend like the developments were sudden. The guy's completely in the tank for FSU because half his tweets and fan engagement are from FSU people.
Exactly right…..every Bugeater douche I have ever known hates Miami with a passion. I’m pretty sure I can find some old Omaha World Herald articles with Tom Osborne whining about how unfair it is that they have to play the U again in a bowl.Waaah waaah, I grew up watching Miami WHIP my alma mater Nebraska to win 3 of its 5 national championships.
******* Genetics hates Miami. He should just be honest about it.
