    It's a motion for partial summary judgment, so I'd like to know about the "partial" portion...

    Generally, one of the best ways to speed-up complex litigation is to reach a conclusion on the "easy" issues that do not require extensive debate. As I've said for a while...if the Media Rights Agreement says "ESPN only broadcasts games of member schools", then that is the touchstone. The GOR...

    It's a bit of a better fit on a number of different levels.

    Neither F$U or Clemson are in the AAU. Yet. Maybe in the future, but not yet. SEC is getting better with certain schools (Texas), plus the population growth in the south. Now, former ****hole schools like Alabama are starting to LOOK like they have decent academics. F$U would actually be...

    Look, here's the deal for F$U/Clemson. To the BIG TEN, the conference itself stands to gain "more" by adding F$U/Clemson than the SEC will. Of that, the "extra carriage fees" will then be spread to 20 teams. So, yes, F$U and Clemson would get an individualized benefit from the Big 10 that the...

    First, ACCN is a cable channel, though it does not have 100% carriage across all the cable networks in the country. ACCX is the streaming platform, and you can watch games via ESPN.com. IF you are a subscriber. I'm not saying it's a lot of games, but anytime we are on ACCX, you are not even...

    Completely true. Or "ACCX", the streaming option. I'd imagine that "Nielsen ratings" might not apply to ACCX.

    Yeah, but if more money is made available, 2030 will be quickly forgotten. I've never seen any profit-chasing institution (including a university) say "let me wait 6 years until I can make more money".

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    You may be proven right, you may be proven wrong, but let's not put too much faith in what an SEC AD says. They are famous for making false and/or self-serving public statements.

    Hey, I argued that the GOR was steaming horse**** a LONG TIME AGO. There's a difference between "the document isn't worth the paper it's written on" and "sure, you can breach the agreement, but it will cost you money". Nobody is arguing that ND's agreement to join the ACC (if/when it joins a...

    Look, you started off your comments by talking about ND's "media partner" (which is NBC), and I just pointed out that NBC has the rights to broadcast only 5 ND-F$U/ND-Clemson games over the next 13 years. Now, the "instead of" argument is relevant whether F$U/Clemson are still in the ACC or...

    Are you talking "directly" from Division II to Division I-A? UCF went from Division III (1979-81) to Division II (1982-89) to Division I-AA (1990-1995) to Division I-A (1996-present), the first school to play in all of the levels.

    Tampa is on the west coast of Florida. Going from west to east on I-4, you go from Tampa/Clearwater/St. Petersburg over to Orlando and then to Daytona Beach. So when you think of the I-4 and I-75 corridors where TONS of Big 10 alums live, you have the #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, and #8 metropolitan...
