David Hale from ESPN is an ACC apologist and Jim Phillips sympathizer who's worried about his career going up in smoke if/when the ACC collapses.

Right here you said this is all about CFB but then bring up UNC not being anything special in CFB.

I don’t think it’s solely football. It seems that there’s other considerations.

Being it’s MAINLY about football, that’s why I questioned how UNC is considered more attractive than us.

Yes. I am following that Rohan’s twitter acciount . It’s too much to post here but suffice it to say the ACC did not bring a brain trust to court today.

The UNC BOT Chair, after again publicly bashing UNC's AD (Bubba Cunningham) stated:

"I think we all recognize that change is hard, but sometimes change is exactly what is needed. We all have to fight the comfort of complacency. And I think that now is the time to be very open to pursuing all options, including those beyond the Atlantic Coast Conference".

Sounds like things could be heating up with a "call to arms" of the Magnificent Seven +1-2 others to blow this thing up before Cal/Stan/SMU come on board at the end of June.

I defer to you lawya dawgs for the play by play...

One interesting argument by ACC, "If we don't have standing to do this, why does FSU keep.taking our distribution checks then?"...I paraphrased obviously..but...

Thoughts???

Cooney gives me muppet vibes.

Or at least being forced into defending a very tough position.

Kinda like a thread battle here on CIS.

It’s more than just athletics if UVA is being considered.

What firms are representing FSU and the ACC? I saw Nelson Mullins and Ropes Gray for Clemson.
