But, of course, Cal will "donate" 70% of any payday back to our ACC opponents.calumnus said:75bear said:

I hope there is a huge judgement against FSU and Cal gets a nice payday.

FSU's lawsuit is pretty flimsy. Contract law isn't generally that complicated, and there's very little in the allegations and causes of action that should worry the ACC. Seems designed more to placate donors and set the stage for a negotiated settlement. Not sure why the ACC would settle, though, absent a massive payday (and the pleasure of watching FSU flounder around in the SEC/B1G as a mediocre program). Nice to have a villain in the conference to take the place of USC.

It's a money game now and all conferences except SEC and Big10 will become dysfunctional, if they haven't already done so.BearoutEast67 said:

Yes the SEC and B1G are wealthy families, but I am sure they have their dysfunction too and just hide it better. Resentment towards those who undeservingly share in the family wealth? We had that and didn't know it until one day the L.A. schools just left. The difference is we now have an in-law who gets drunk and rages out in the street insulting everyone, is constantly in court and on the 6 O'clock news.

From what I hear, OSU is the USC/FSU of the B1G. And the SEC is getting Texas.
This is not a large penalty. This is the rights that the conference used to deal with the TV networks. All they are doing is asking them to complete the deal.ninetyfourbear said:DaveT said:

Aren't large penalties to prevent breach considered as a way to invalidate contracts? I studied but never practiced law so I don't know if that was just law school crap.

We only have this perspective because we are beneficiaries of the revenue share agreement.

We definitely knew we had dysfunction and that it was U$C…our leadership and (most of?) the rest of the conference's leadership was asleep at the wheel and/or in denial that the Toejams would actually stab the rest of conference in the back as the signs were there all along with $C vetoing things that made sense.
