My guess is they feel they need to be the first out the door to secure a Big 10 bid. Sure they know SEC is unlikely to no chance and know the Big 10 is getting awfully big. They would probably jump at the chance to go in with partial revenue like Oregon and Washington did.
Iâd wager that there is an applicable law and venue clause in the GOR agreement that puts disputes about the agreementâŠguess where⊠in NC state courts.

How are they going to enforce the magic veil of super secrecy around the GOR now that a school has sued the ACC claiming the GOR is mean and they donât like it, so therefore it shouldnât be enforced, and the ACC has sued them back saying the GOR says schools canât challenge the GOR?
I mean, the GOR has to be entered as evidence as part of these lawsuits, right? I assume they can do some form of pinkie-swearing the judge to secrecy, but I donât see how theyâll be able to make the judge go to NC to read it and not make a copy while deciding the cases. Plus, lawyers involved in both cases have to jump through these hoops? And can they close the courtroom to news coverage, or do they just have to talk in vague euphemisms that everyone on both sides and the judge understand but the media doesnât?
I am perplexed. But Iâm also not a lawyer.

I imagine that the full GOR will be requested in Discovery if they get that far.

When the GoR is discussed in the courtroom, all lights must be turned off and a black light will be required to read the invisible ink. From there a special decoder ring will be used to decipher it as well as the Rosetta Stone. At this point the judge will hold up a large poster with four seemingly random pictures on it like some college football teams use on the sideline to somehow call plays, which will provide further insight into the interpretation of the GoR. Once this is completed, the things from Men in Black will be used to erase everyoneâs memory.

Wanted to quote this part because I think this could be real support for FSUâs legal arguments.

Yeah, that might actually be a leg to stand on, depending on what exactly the GOR says and how one translates the ancient Babylonian its written in.

The ACC played legal chess vs checkers with FSU.

I would read over this but 1) I hate reading 2) I ainât no lawyer folk and 3) I feel like it would be reckless to waste such precious time on any topic that isnât 17 year old basketball recruits we wonât offer.

Someone hiding a document tells me they know the document has an issue.
Generally when you sign an agreement you get a copy of it. The fact that the ACC is so restrictive of the access to the suicide pact is bizarre.
