UNLV lost because of their secondary, their secondary is all filled with Power 4 transfers, we should be better. Maiva was good but I think Sluka is better. We'll be ok

Hawaii is Moutain West tho.

The sun belt is the best non A4 conference followed by the mountain west and then the American

It's impossible to hate pedo Disney/ESPN enough. Good for you.

Could getting the highly protected contract into court be the first step in showing the media partners have a monopoly? No denying their influence is substantial.

You know what’s better than trashing FPI? Not mentioning it at all! You don’t need to wait for Week 4 to decide about FPI. It’s been absolute garbage for a few years now and people act like it’s some great predictor. All it is now is ESPN propaganda and so bizarre it creates buzz for being so bad. If you don’t believe me, just look at the final rankings the last few years. The biggest flaw is acting like perceived team talent will produce a great team. That’s why Texas 8-4 (A&M) always shows up high no matter how bad they play. It way overrates the ratings for teams that lose to the top teams. The 11-2 Washington team finished 20th and way behind the Texas and Oregon teams they beat. The 14-1 team finished 12th and was behind Texas and Oregon again. Check out how 6-7 Oklahoma and Baylor were both in the 2022 Top 26. People roast FPI on twitter every week because of teams that lose to other teams are often ranked higher. Every year is different and the NIL era isn’t the past, but history says there’s a 2/3 chance JY is wrong on Air Force. History says they’re going to a bowl game: It says they’re going to have a winning (Not .500) record in conference play. They’re always likely to go 3-1 or 4-0 in non-conference. The odds say they’re likely to win at least 8 games. They’re a top team in the division and conference most years. Yeah, I’ve seen some losing records and I’ve also seem some bad stretches, but that’s a lot less likely than being one of the better teams.

That nov 30th is Washington @ Oregon

Oregon Ducks B1G CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

The PAC-2 have made it clear they have no interest in a MWC merger. They split up their sports for a reason. Wait and see is the best play. Best case scenario is Big 12. Worst case scenario is rebuilding with mostly MWC schools. Wazzu/OSU are more valuable to them than that conference is to Wazzu/OSU. They shouldn’t lock themselves in when there’s still so many realignment dominos to go

Just a reminder… Florida sunshine laws ☝️

💯 chance Moody gets denied

I highly doubt she will get to see an unredacted version of the grant of rights. It is a possibility that she might get to see a redacted version of the grant of rights. But I think that might be the best possibility she could get.

A lot of politics in North Carolina for sure

Clemson better have a ‘solid’ offer from the B10..or SEC …but they may be jumping ahead of the gun….and find themselves out the door without a landing place in either the B10 or SEC….hhhmmm….will ACC take them back…or is the B12 their only alternative ?? I am sure they are briefed on their alternatives and repercussion’s. Miami could sneak in…but the more likelihood of Notre Dame becoming that second partner along with FSU for the B10….and the SEC…just passing for now….or zeroing in on UNC and another more well rounded program or venture into another state…ie Virginia or Kansas… with Virginia of more value ..especially with the negative feedback from Mizzou and South Carolina as well as Florida nixing Miami . SEC will do whatever and whoever they want…all will come out in the wash….but I think unless one of these schools settle/ pay an exit fee….this may be litigated for a good while….meaning ..wait till next summer to go thru this mess again! Lawyers always win ! Especially in litigation type issues…where per diem and fees keep everyone in turmoil and dragging it out!

I wonder if the courts would force a compromise by allowing the AG to review the contract in full but with an order to keep it from being released.

As I've said before, I've become very weary of FL AG Ashley Moody's intentions. I need to see more substance behind her intentions regarding the suit against the ACC. It seems like she pops up whenever she wants and that she's not showing any real urgency to get to the truth of this matter. I question if she's being sincere at all about her legal pressure on the ACC. In other words, I'm really on the fence about Moody. Actions speak louder than words Floridians would like to hear.

I have lost interest in the writ of mananus aspect of this. I am much more interested in the Clemson summary judgment even if it is unlikely to come to fruition. I fail to see how a summary judgement would be a bad thing for the ACC either or why they would fight it. Both sides have the exact wording of the media document. Both believe they are correct on what it says or means. Why not cut to the chase and let a judge interpret it? Loser goes home with nothing. How confident is each side that they are correct?

I kinda agree with you but how do we know fraud hasn't been committed by ESPN and the ACC? just a thought! If it isn't Moody looking into this matter then someone has to because this seems unfair to all the institutions involved with the corrupt conference heads and ESPN calling the shots!

It's hard to go more than a day or two without a politician jumping in front of a camera (or filing a brief) and saying "Hey look at ME!" Especially a Florida politician. I have no idea what the judge will say.

tfw Nevada will never get a renovation.

The ACC breached its duties along time ago by failing to do the best thing for its members repeatedly!

I can’t imagine the big 12 loses any teams to an ACC that would be rebuilding. I think it goes the other way. I think the big 12 cannibalize is what they want from the ACC. The Big Ten and SEC don’t need anymore teams. If it’s down to three leagues, it would be the big 12 over the ACC if the ACC implodes

Maybe a stupid question but, since the property in question, tv rights for Clemson home games, is in SC, would that have any weight on the venue location?

McKenzie is generally correct that motions for summary judgment/partial summary judgment are rarely granted. That’s because it’s rare that a dispute involves no genuine issues of material fact that bear on whether the judgment should be granted. That said, there is a subset of disputes that involve only questions of law. Disputes such as the interpretation (construction) of a statute or the terms of a contract. That Clemson’s motion is for partial summary judgment is notable. It suggests the motion was narrowly crafted such that it only asks for a legal interpretation of the GOR (presumably the claim by Clemson that based on the GOR’s unambiguous language it only applies to schools that are in the conference and has no application when they leave). If the court agrees with CU that the issue is purely a legal one, and that the interpretation urged by CU (which CU undoubtedly argues is the only interpretation) is correct, and finally that a ruling on this issue will simplify the issues in the case that left to be tried, it should grant CU’s motion for PSJ. Using shorthand, that the GOR doesn’t travel with departing members then becomes “the law of case”, and its application to the remaining issues can go a long way towards facilitating a settlement.

The ACC needs to let FSU/Clemson leave.

Isn’t Clemson’s best argument is that the ACC doesn’t have the right to keep Clemson s media rights if they are no longer in the conference? The exit fee is $120 M. Clemson should be able to pay the exit fee and take thrust media rights. ACC would keep rights to home games played while in the conference.

It’s a penalty and that’s where the ACC will lose

Lol. Do you guys ever sleep?! Thanks for your efforts!

Go Big Mountain!

The ACC complaining about "misdirection" with Clemson's filing is really a hoot given the ACC's filing before FSU. The ACC is trying to have it's cake and eat it too. Does anyone else find it funny that the ACC has not given an official number to either FSU or Clemson? They're (ACC) doing their best to keep their two prime schools in a conference they do not want to be in. Sadly, I had hope that Judge Bledsole would be fair but it appears to me that he is the head chef in the NC kitchen.

The ACC’s claim that the conference accepted the GoR in North Carolina is pure baloney. Each and every member school executed the contract in their OWN state and electronically transmitted it to the conference offices. In the legal realm, where a party to a contract actually signed it matters greatly.

Absolutely nothing new in this video,

Can Bledsoe rightfully say that the Clemson case should be heard in NC while the FSU case is on hold in NC due to appeal to the NC Supreme Court?

Who knows what will happen at this point. Clemson obviously found something in the contract that made them push this in my view. The judge will see the exact language and will make the determination. This has been the wildest offseason I can remember.

The State of Florida will not hand over its Sovereign Authority to govern Florida State University for a Justice aka Judge in the State of North Carolina. The Judge in North Carolina will not pick up that case again until 2025. The local concern & its impact is “Wake Forest” & “Duke”. The ACC is still addressing most of the same issues,but they’ve flipped their arguments. FSU had to comply with the Sunshine Law. That is the reason everyone got a front seat for Florida State University Board of Trustee meeting’s. When Maryland left they payed the exit fee & the ACC kept their last Athletic year’s $$ funds. That could be a “Precedent”. Maryland came into the B1G broke, Florida State University is far from broke.

The partial summary judgment makes sense in this scenario because interpretation of the verbiage of in the redacted document is literally their entire case. If it says what Clemson thinks, case closed and no additional money wasted by either party or the state. If the judge disagrees with Clemson’s claim of interpretation, Clemson has no real case and it gets dropped. Seems like a great thing for both parties

Stop hitting the desk, Jay lol

I hope Clemson is granted partial summary judgment. Would save money for both parties and taxpayers.

I see Mountain West going after Wasrwen Washington and Idaho

Genetics... come on! This guy is like the sc guy that just goes with his charts... his thoughts are not inside info. He like his charts and graphs and that does not compare to talking to people at the programs and conferences that are having talks with the universities that are trying to get in a better conference!

The price of admission to the FBS club is now $5,000,000, and 2 schools have paid it, Delaware and Missouri State. I believe that Kennesaw St. was the last school to get into the club for only $5,000. That's right in October 2023, the club added three zeroes to their entry fee, and in less than 9 months, two schools have agreed to pay it and many more have asked to pay it, but didn't have an engraved club invitation allowing them to pay the fee! Whether this trend continues is probably dependent on the practical effects of these lawsuits. The future is too uncertain to me, to be placing wagers, although rebuilding the Pac in the short run, might be bettable.

You are wrong about New Mexico State University on several accounts. The enrollment is not shrinking and its not 11,000. It's at 25,300 plus. The attendance at football games is growing faster than any other FBS program in the country growing 27% since 2021. It's in a larger metroplex population area than Albuquerque University of New Mexico, who's enrollment is shrinking. When I attended UNM in the late 70s the university claimed to have an enrollment over 35,000 while today it's only about 19,000 with the undergraduate population at 15,000. UNM also has an outdated football stadium that once had a track around the field, making the seats at a bad angle for good view of the field, while New Mexico State has a modern football stadium built for football only, with all seat having a good view of the field. NMSU only disadvantage is the pay the coaches earn, but they are correcting that.

Sorry for being late here. Been busy studying an online course. As for the PAC-2, I believe the most likely scenario is OrSU and WSU joining the MWC. They'll try to rebuild the PAC with various G5 schools, but I think they're not going to have enough time (and cooperation) to get it done.

They can end it tomorrow. Let FSU go!😂😂😂

Well that was embarrassing you know your lock

FSU has no contract with ESPN.

Why would any team leave a conference for a conference of two schools? I think WSU and OSU will end up in the ACC once FSU and Clemson leave the conference. If UNC decides to stay in the ACC, adding those two team will help with traveling with Stanford and Cal.

The Florida AG isn't getting a private contract from a company that's not based in Florida. That people think this is going anywhere is funny!

See, so the P4 conferences can work together. 😃 By the way, it is at least possible that the State of FL Sunshine Laws are stronger than those of some other states, but what happens here may not be applicable elsewhere. I am not admitted to the bar of the State of FL and know nothing of FL Sunshine Laws, so I have no opinion on that.

FSU made a bad emotional decision that regardless of the final outcome will cost them many, many more millions more than the revenue gap central to their complaint. Clemson got suckered in because they believed all the talking heads saying it was all going FSUs way and the ACC is done next year. Unfortunately that was another bad decision. It will end up being costly for them as well.
