The judge is going to be 100% in the tank for the AG's office. We have a former first DCA clerk who works for us and he told us that anything that came out of her courtroom was immediately sent up the chain for further review. Extremely state friendly judge and also a judge very willing to dare...

Exactly why a settlement is likely. FSU and Clemson are terrified of being stuck until 2036. acc is terrified of losing the entire conference

I’ve been dismissed with leave to amend dozens of times. It’s far less of a big deal than the McKenzie and Rohan types are making it out to be. The complaint will be amended before Friday. Judge even said the facts needed are obvious, just not where they should be in the complaint.

McKenzie is an acc shill who went to a third tier toilet law school and practices exclusively in copyrights and trademarks. He’s an even dumber genetics/greg swaim type

The guy had been relatively tethered to reality until that post. The idea that the 2024 season would be affected or go unplayed is beyond the wildest imagining of anyone. His theory of how it would happen doesn’t even apply because the composition clause isn’t triggered as fsu and Clemson...

It really seems like FSU's relationship with ESPN is beyond salvaging. edit: that's not to say they won't take any port in a storm, but it's pretty clear their preference is the B1G.

I've posted before about my struggles to think positively about the situation and its getting harder.

He didn’t get into that much. He also seemed slightly confused as to the general nature of the GOR at least in the last round of questioning. Hearing should be restarting shortly

He’s pressing the acc for clarification on withdrawal fees and GOR length/broadcasting rights now.

He’s saying that espn and the acc contracts with a public institution should not be trade secrets and should be discoverable now.

He basically browbeat the acc attorney into admitting that they had engaged in anticipatory litigation and forum shopping. He cited to a Florida case and said “if you switch the names to fsu and acc, it’s the same lawsuit” and that case ruled in favor of FSU’s position. He’s had some heated...

Judge Cooper is absolutely grilling the ACC in Florida. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t let FSUs suit go forward. The attorneys in our Tallahassee office speak very highly of Cooper and I see why

The atmosphere when we're ranked playing a ranked opponent is elite. The atmosphere when we're playing UVA or GT is pathetic. I doubt stadium attendance is moving the needle on anything re-alignment. Wish the city would make the stadium more transit accessible. They're supposed to start...

Neither us or FSU are blue bloods. We didn’t start winning until the 70s and 80s. Notre dame and Michigan and Ohio state etc have been playing football since the 1800s. They’re the real blue bloods. Notre dame hasn’t won **** since 1988 but still gets preferential treatment because of ****...

I’m trying hard not to be a doomer about this but all the posts about us have secret plans feel like pure hopium. Everything we’ve seen jives with the past 20 years of UM administration: inept and completely lacking in foresight

ESPN had an original deadline of 2021( i think) to extend the deal. They did not. They put the screws to phillips and say extend the deadline for us to extend the deal. Phillips, without authority, grants this extension to a material term of the contract *without consideration*. This is both a...

I gave my analysis as a florida litigator on the subject. I find their argument that Phillips wasn't unliterally allowed to grant the extension persuasive. I also think they should prevail on the venue issue given the ACC's failure to follow its own bylaws prior to filing suit and the cases they...

I don’t like him because he’s a non litigator pencil pusher from California and his “analysis” is just accepting every argument the acc makes as the gospel truth while saying FSU is dumb and wrong during the one time in history they aren’t

This might be a scorching hot take but being in the big 12 is 100% better than getting stuck in the zombie acc The b12 is on pace to lap the ACC in payouts by 2030

I'm an attorney and FSU's lawsuit is really a single issue case. All of the antitrust stuff isn't going anywhere. I doubt all the arguments about the ACC's ineptitude will either (even though it's extremely true that the ACC is corrupt and incompetent and was largely a vehicle to enrich the...
