Here is another minor feature that can be your friend too

 

That plus is a "multiquote"  So you can press that on multiple comments if you want to address them all.  It's a pretty cool function when used spraingly and correctly.  @Triple B is always on me to quote...so I know about these things...

 

A button with the number you have quoted will be at bottom and voila, you can press that to put those quotes in your post

That one I use.

I read that last lay as a step to the process. Like man, ESPN owns!

It doesn't quite work that way.  FSU assign it's rights to the ACC.  The ACC sold them to ESPN.
 
FSU will negotiate a fee to buy back their rights. Hard to imagine Purdue @ Florida State on the ACC Network, right?

Besides, if it were that easy, why hasn't any other school done that already.  FSU, Clemson, Miami, etc would be LOOONG gone if that is all it took.

It will be interesting to see how it works. This could be a way that ESPN gets access to BigTen games since they own the rights to FSU and Clemson home games until 2036. If as you said ACC sold those rights to ESPN.

ESPN would then have to not penalize the ACC contract for FSU and Clemson moving. Thus FSU and Clemson would just be paying exit fees to ACC since they wouldn’t be breaking GOR and the conference isn’t losing any tv money.

Question is, would ACC then add at least two to replace them. This could be interesting for the Bulls

I know I have mentioned this before, but how does that really help the SEC? They already have UF and the University of South Carolina there. I'd have to think there would be staunch opposition from UF to having FSU join and they'd likely have some voting support to prevent FSU from joining.

I would think the onus here would be moving to keep the B1G from getting their grubby hands on markets in the deep south. Also, on UF's end, it would add FSU as their protected rivalry game in-conference, freeing up an annual out-of-conference slot for a patsy at home

I really don't see Miami would leave other than money.  If FSU and Clemson leave it gives them a much better chance to win and get to the college football  playoffs. Same with Fsu.

Miami wouldn't win the ACC even if those two were gone.
