No doubt the Judge is very fair and unbiased😏. The ACC will remove the case to Federal Court faster than the last man on a submarine, as Al McGuire used to say.
Did he mean getting off in port or when sinking? When sinking, the last man is generally still on the sub. Just saying...No doubt the Judge is very fair and unbiased😏. The ACC will remove the case to Federal Court faster than the last man on a submarine, as Al McGuire used to say.
Surprising that the contract doesn't specify the legal venue, right?I don’t think the judge matters per se.
It’s the rule of law that is the biggest issue.
From what I’ve read, NC saves liquidated clauses if they can.
Whereas due to statutes in FL, if it’s found to be punitive in nature at all, the entire clause is void.
That more so than the judge is probably why the ACC tried to keep it in NC.
Maybe Charlie Ward bullied him in some Latin American Fiction class they had together or Jameis Winston stole his alumni daughter's crab legs and he has an ax to grind with the football program...ya never know.

Who appointed the judge though? If Crist, maybe a Christmas miracle.No doubt the Judge is very fair and unbiased😏. The ACC will remove the case to Federal Court faster than the last man on a submarine, as Al McGuire used to say.
Judges interpret laws though. It’s why both sides want to stack the courts. Whichever outcome the GOP wants they should get in the end with the current majority. Not sure what that is at this point.I don’t think the judge matters per se.

I was thinking the same thing. When I enter into a contract, it specifies that any and all disputes will be settled in the jurisdiction where my business is located.Surprising that the contract doesn't specify the legal venue, right?

I know there’s different circumstances between the two cases, but IIRC Maryland’s legal case vs the ACC was eventually ruled to be heard in North Carolina when they departed for the Big Ten.Surprising that the contract doesn't specify the legal venue, right?
Judges don't matter because they are all fair, unbiased, and paragons of virtue.I don’t think the judge matters per se.

Thanks for the laugh this morning.Judges don't matter because they are all fair, unbiased, and paragons of virtue.

Legal venue isn't necessarily something that's needed in a contract. State law assigns venue for certain entities. That is sometimes repeated in recitals but the GOR is sort of a tag-along to the media deal. I would imagine that the ACC bylaws say that as a member, a school is subject to whatever the organization decides? In this case, the ACC is asserting NC state law to determine venue which would be the county where the ACC is incorporated. FSU is trying to establish venue in sort of a reverse fashion saying that the ACC is a "citizen" of every state their members reside in so the venue should be the county court in FL.Surprising that the contract doesn't specify the legal venue, right?
Nah. You know what school the judge would be from.Lucky for them a local judge with two FSU degrees will be a good thing. If this were Pitt and the local judge had two Pitt degree, it would already be over for us.
Has PSU had a law school for long? Didn't they buy the law school from Dickinson?Nah. You know what school the judge would be from.

This news sucks, I had a back and forth conversation with several douches from Free Shoes U. Gist of the story is at a minimum they expect Carolina and Clumson to also file if nothing else. To show espn that they are leaving and plan to fight back.
So they (espn) opts out of the final 9 years of the contract. So it reduces the years to 3 they have to pay for to leave. Essentially leaving what is left of the conference to starve and settle for scraps.

It doesn’t really matter, because if the motivation is great enough and you have the cash, this will eventually be appealed to the SCOTUS. That being said, it’s infinitely better to be on the side who won on appeal, only because you run the risk that SCOTUS decides not to hear the case.
The current ESPN contract will run out before it made it that far.I'd be more willing to bet that SCOTUS doesn't touch this.

I wonder if a student or professor could challenge their own GOR over academic property with the FSU based on a similar premise?
Not just surprising, but really stupid by the ACC if the document lacks governing law and venue provisions.Surprising that the contract doesn't specify the legal venue, right?
