When FSU found out that the ESPN contract was not guaranteed past 2026....they found an opening.
The ACC likes to say that they have programs rights until 2036...But...the GOR plainly says that they only are assigned such rights as necessary to fulfill the requirements of the ACC contract.
FSU wants to pay the Exit fee and negotiate the remaining two years of the guaranteed contract.
By the By...the ACC only receives Exit fee monies if FSU leaves...
Any "rights" monies go to ESPN who has leased those rights...it is an odd situation...ESPN did not sign the GOR and no school signed a contract with ESPN. This is all about ESPN yet ESPN is silent standing in the corner like a mobster's goon at a "sit down" with a rival.
