MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread(Its still personal)

[Cane6]

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

I would definitely like to punch him in the face until my knuckles hurt

Anyone care to explain in layman's terms?

Looks like FSU had some fundamental omissions in their original complaint that didn't address "The ACC actually doing business in the State of Florida via contractual agreements with FSU & Miami" that FSU is now trying to include in pleadings in establishing Florida as the appropriate venue. Seems like their initial filing was not as complete and detailed as it should have been.

This is not something that hasn’t already been stated, but the ACC knows they are toast and are going to drag this out as long as possible. Truthfully, that benefits us because our program needs to show out on the field this year. Miami has some proving to do. I mentioned this before as well, conference leadership and networks have to realize what HC built Oregon and how he is recruiting for a long term fix of the Miami program as well. Networks should see it too.

Judge gave FSU 7 days (not including weekends) to AMEND their complaint to clearly address jurisdictional issues in an appropriate manner. He also stated the case is going to MEDIATION within 120 days. Counting weekends that is after the August 15 date deadline to notify a program is leaving the ACC for the following year. If mediation commences in the second half of August ... could be year end before a resolution is arrived at. Looks like FSU, want to or not, is in the ACC for 2025.

Watch this starting at around the 38 minute mark .

I will not formulate an opinion until @fraggle tells me what my opinion is.

I watched a little bit of the beginning on Fleugars broadcast. Enough to see the ACC attorney state she is a double Nole.

When someone mentioned it in the live chat it was dismissed by one of the cameltoe-nole’s as, “she’s a bookworm, probably has never been to a game.”

Same folks who trashed Miami because they said they would attend a conference meeting.

Clown show. No reason why FSUs attorneys shouldn't have caught this at the get go. Plenty of instances where a court dismisses with leave to amend, but this shouldn't happen here with the legal team they've got.

FSU's crack legal team met afterward outside the courtroom

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.

Exactly. Technical violation. Foot fault. Nothing to see here.

Not a big deal other than the time delay ... 7 days for FSU to file the amended complaint then 20 days for the ACC to respond. So it resulted in a one month delay. Judge believes FSU has a case and is permitting them to tweak their initial filing so everything reads properly. Doesn't want to risk an appeal once he rules.

Definitely a part of me that wishes the ACC, Big 12, Pac 12 (at the time), and the Group of 5 told the P2 to ***** off. It would have been interesting to see the fallout.

Kinda tired of seeing the line waiting to kneel down in front of the P2 to slob that **** at a chance to get in.

I love dunking on FSU, but what happened in court today was not a loss for them. Let it play out. An FSU victory can actually help Miami with future conference realignment.

This is good for Miami IMO. Miami can potentially kick their *** and win the ACC this year and make a better case for themselves while other ACC members are stuck in the ACC right along with them.
