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

If FSU/Miami challenged GoR under today (or future) FL law, that's a big deal right?

i routinely preside over cases under CIS jurisdiction. Why not here?

Is there someone I can call to get this scheduled?

In cases of jurisdiction for a contract dispute, it normally follows "first to file" when there is no provision for choice of forum. Even if a case went to "federal court", there are federal judges who sit in all the various 50 states.

So, yes, I would think that the venue matters and would have an impact.

If anyone recalls, Miami and Arkansas State had a bit of a kerfluffle over Miami filing "first" in its dispute over the game that got cancelled due to hurricane. The case ultimately settled out of court, but if Miami cared enough to "file first" and try to get SoFla as its venue, I can **** SURE tell you that they will try to do the same for any GOR lawsuit.

I still am not sure who we are fighting though. Does the ACC "own" our rights under the initial GOR? Or were our rights sold or assigned to ESPN in the TV deal? Because while Mars may be correct on the GOR document, I am not sure whether that would be the right analysis if our adversary is ESPN and the underlying document is the TV deal, under the premise that ESPN now owns our rights, not the ACC.

College football is circling the drain.

I'm on it...

I was a little surprised the Big10 was going to take those schools after all the talk a few months ago that they wanted to expand east not west.

The ONLY reason that Washington/Oregon were under consideration was the 50% discount.

And here come the big guns.

Gotta be careful who you get into bed with.

PE Funds...

Good luck with that...

JP Morgan Private Bank? Minimum is $5m to open an account with them.

No one overestimate Miami tv ratings. We are being compared to teams who had recent national championship teams, or plays against more big time opponents every season like UF. When we are good and they are good, they dont compare. Miami is polarising like Notre Dame, worse actually. Everybody watch if we ever get good again

Back in old radio days, people who hated Howard stern LISTENED to Howard stern longer than his fans did.

they've played each other when MIami was independent, Big East and obviously ACC. I dont see a reason they'd discontinue the rivalry unless everyone just ended up in 2 conferences (which I dont see that happening). you'll have your conference and non conference games and miami will still need FSU as a home game to amp their season ticket sales (depending on how the new divisions are done, I doubt miami has OSU Mich on their schedule every year either (it would be in some form of a rotation)).

You are right. Unlike Texas and A&m where there was so much animosity and the rivalry fell apart, that is definitely not the case here. It will always be in each schools best interest to keep it going.

Sole purpose of PE is to make money for themselves and often times bail out those in a position of financial weakness in order to maximize their future gains.

It’s done

 

[Brickell]

RIP Pac-12...

 

[Alex Del Piero]

Now that it’s done I’m gonna say it: I don’t know if it is a good thing for Miami in the long run.

It is quite funny Oregon ends up the first school added to the Big10 lol. Had to take less pay to do it. But it's still hilarious

Now only question left in PAC is Stanford and Cal. ASU and Utah going to Big12.

Now we just wait for the first ACC team to make their move. Whoever is first will likely have to pay the most money, u less they all act together.

The Big 12 might come out looking pretty good when this is all done.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Worst case scenario, short term at least. There are no longer enough homes for the ACC to disband via 8 schools leaving, and Miami now has to worry about where they are in the pecking order vs FSU, UNC, and others.

 

[Tony4Canes]

What a ******* morning!!

Now announce Zona to Big 12.
