Cooney is ACC counsel
It’s more than just athletics if UVA is being considered.Right here you said this is all about CFB but then bring up UNC not being anything special in CFB.
I don’t think it’s solely football. It seems that there’s other considerations.
I’d need to read the hearing transcript or a playback to form an opinion on it, but two points of caution with that Rohan guy.I defer to you lawya dawgs for the play by play...
One interesting argument by ACC, "If we don't have standing to do this, why does FSU keep.taking our distribution checks then?"...I paraphrased obviously..but...
Thoughts???

Just rode my bike through the Arnold Palmer invitational. They truly go all out there. Now I’m relieved I didn’t buy in there because people park on lawns like the Orange Bowl.Nice. Great area. I’m trying to get on Bay Hill, buddy lives in there but isn’t a member I told him he has a month to figure out who he’s gotta talk to so we can get on there, I’m not taking no for an answer
Greenberg Traurig represents FSU.What firms are representing FSU and the ACC? I saw Nelson Mullins and Ropes Gray for Clemson.
Third, he wears a ******* bow tie. I don’t think I ever worked with or encountered a lawyer with a bow tie that wasn’t a douche.I’d need to read the hearing transcript or a playback to form an opinion on it, but two points of caution with that Rohan guy.
First, he’s a massive FSU fan and has some bias here (look at some of his past tweets and you’ll see).
Second, he’s a PI, criminal defense, and workers comp attorney. He’s a litigator, but this isn’t his area of practice or expertise whatsoever. Trust but verify if you see stuff from him.
This case is not going to be as short or straightforward as people think.
Notre Dame is unlikely to go this round. Just saying. the cfp payouts for me made it LESS likely that will happen than it was two weeks ago."There is a fear, however, among those close to the Miami program, that the Big Ten is only going to seek out FSU and Notre Dame during its next round of expansion, which would leave Miami without its top choice."
Where could Miami Hurricanes land if ACC collapses
Recent lawsuits by Clemson and Florida State against the ACC have created an uncertain future for the conference. Where would the Miami Hurricanes land is the Acaneswarning.com
So apparently there are people at UM who also have legitimate concerns about not having a spot in the P2.
Well I for one miss "$10 no blockie.."Just rode my bike through the Arnold Palmer invitational. They truly go all out there. Now I’m relieved I didn’t buy in there because people park on lawns like the Orange Bowl.
ESPN is going to have to be brought into the case.I defer to you lawya dawgs for the play by play...

ESPN is already IN the case. The ESPN attorney addressed the court insisting that their media rights agreement be sealed and the judge wasn't apparently in full agreement, hinting that they would remain confidential in accordance with a given state's laws (ie, if it goes to Florida, then any contract that is an issue in a proceeding MIGHT therefore be public due to the Sunshine Laws).ESPN is going to have to be brought into the case.
I'd think the best possible outcome for the ACC would be to coax ESPN's hand to renegotiate a richer deal for the league.
Their lawyers should be working toward that end.
Nobody wants to try a case like this, and appeals could go on for ages.
This case is all about who wants to negotiate when the fees pile up.

GTFOH with that measured level-headed bull****.I’d need to read the hearing transcript or a playback to form an opinion on it, but two points of caution with that Rohan guy.

Absolutely and that’s my point. It’s not just about football.UNC is HIGHLY regarded by the B10 presidents for their academics and reputation. Currently the #22 ranked university nationally. (Northwestern is #9; ND #20; Michigan #21). Adding ND and UNC would be quite a coup ... academically and their BB team obviously is one of the best. Then, simply that fact that UNC is "Tobacco Road Blue Blood" adds to the appeal ... and getting a geographic footprint for the B10 in the heart of SEC country. Would be huge for the B10 to have even regional home games broadcast in that market on a regular basis.
