MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

There has been no indication that either school has a legal leg to stand on with its respective arguments — and even if they did, the ACC has made clear it will proverbially kick the can as far as possible, via time-consuming appeals and counter-suits.

This is wrong.

We do have some indication that they have a legal leg to stand on. The fact that their cases have not been bounced out of court.

If you’re not getting bounced out on an MSJ, you have a legal leg to stand on.

Seems PAC-12 talking to UNLV St and Utah St now. The AAC schools would have $27 million exit fee just for lateral move.

The ACC is terrified of the prospect of the Florida judge ruling positive on FSU's request for a declaratory judgment ... that is pushing them to settle.

Declaratory judgment ... lol

Everyone needs to chill. Both sides had to go to mediation because it is standard in Florida litigation. The media made this a bigger story than it is because obviously they have to discuss something when they mediate. Nothing has actually happened yet, other than a bunch of writers needed clicks and regurgitated info from a year ago.

Right or wrong, it appears the ACC isn't scared one iota of either FSU or Clemson's lawsuits.

Smart of UNLV to change their name to get an invite to the PAC-St.

I wouldn't say that based on ANY actions precipitated by Philips. Guy is an idiot.

Idiots are often blissfully fearless.
