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

[TheOriginalCane]

Even when we renegotiate, WE GET NOTHING...

You don't like your 4.5%? **** you...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I wonder which smart poster talked about the mismatch between the length of the GOR and the length of the ESPN contract...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Raycom pimpin' ain't easy...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Holy ****!

Lo, after these many years spent wandering in the desert, it appears that F$U has located The Holy Grail...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I've told everyone this for years...

It's not just REVENUE...you also have to factor in EXPENSES...

That's how you compute PROFIT...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Someone needs to give the author of these headers a raise. A big, gratuitous raise...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

 

[TheOriginalCane]

 

[TheOriginalCane]

New guys, you ain't safe either...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Like I said, the writer of these headers deserves a raise...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Some of y'all need to stop being so gullible, and just quit believing everything the ACC puts in its legal filings...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Ooopsy...

Ya see, ya see, the ACC can do whatever it wants WITHOUT taking a 2/3 vote required by its own Constitution. Or it can ask the court to take away F$U's rights within the ACC, which it could ALSO accomplish by a 2/3 vote under its own Constitution...

But the ACC doesn't want to take any 2/3 votes. The ACC just wants to do what it wants to do, or get the courts to do what it wants to do...

[TheOriginalCane]

While I agree, I'm going to skip over this one:

To get to THIS ONE:

I've been talking about this one for a while.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

All true...

Still true...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Yes...

DO TELL!

BUT BUT BUT, @NorthernVirginiaCane told me the GOR was ironclad and irrevocable!!!

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Good lord, I think Paragraph 265 is making reference to a communicable disease...

 

[TheOriginalCane]

There is that beautiful, horrible word again, AND I LOVE IT!

 

[TheOriginalCane]

sooooo, I gotta ask... where were all the ACC school legal teams, Admin, and Athletic Directors during all this happening??? Did no one know the family ties involved?

I would dig deeper into the Swofford financial records. How much was the son being paid by raycom, special bonus's, etc.... Same with the daughter at the bank. Every school should sue Swofford personally, Raycom, and the ACC, pitch for criminal charges to be brought up on Swofford and son. I gotta think if he's found guilt of criminal activity as the head of the conference, making decisions that cost the schools $100's of millions, we could get the ACC dissolved. That's just my common opinion..

Just asking, do YOU know what the children of all of your co-workers do for a living?

It should never be up to a bunch of universities to do a US-presidential-candidate-level vetting job on our conference Commissioner and his family members.

 

[CaneintheWilderness]

You're god**** right...

Where are all those porsters who keep telling us that the universities are sooooo sophisticated, and that all of this bargaining was freely-done and with no pressure or coercion or trickeration...

And, goodness, I wish I could remember the name of that brilliant poster who kept telling everyone that there was NO NEW CONSIDERATION for the extension of the GOR...

Appreciate you posting all the screenshots from the complaint. There's lots of discussion about how this was fundamentally a bad deal, that the ACC wasn't exactly forthright in its negotiations, etc. But is the crux of the argument that the GOR is invalid because it lacked new consideration? Or are they advancing other claims about its invalidity? (Looking for the brief bullet point summary)
