Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

[LilburnDeac]

I’ll give you the Big 8 being better. The Big 10 is, has, and always will be a completely mediocre conference. Unsurprisingly, they are the only 1 of the 4 conferences mentioned that did not have a national title in the ‘80s.

College FB is both a beneficiary and victim of the constant media coverage. There really isn't enough content to have 24 hour media coverage, so they end up just endlessly repeating the same talking points- like the SEC and Big 10 are heads and shoulders above the other leagues.

Throw in UF as well. Tons of Gators in the ATL (just a little more quiet these days compared to the mid-90's and late 00's).

GT even as a public school suffers from many of the same "numbers" and attendance issues as Wake.

And yet they have a natty in football

Met a diehard 75 year old GT fan at Snowshoe before Christmas - probably the first I have ever met not at a GT game (or maybe even at a game).

It’s all computers man.

Not when most of those bridges were built, slide rules and pens and paper

 

[Deacon92]

The SMU treatment just confirms SEC and Big 10 want a big 2.. they probably are ok with the ACC staying alive just now part of the Group of not the Big 2.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Texas is scared of SMU.

And yet they have a natty in football

4 natty's in football

 

[Biff Tannen]

But the last one is total bullshit and part of the reason we would up with the BCS.

Either you’re serious about moving on from Jimbo or not. Sacrifices have to be made to win in the SEC West.

FSU lawyers are arguing with the ACC about access to various documents that it considers important to its lawsuit against the ACC. I doubt that these documents qualify as "public records". Also, FSU, from now on you should keep a copy of any contracts that you sign.

Florida Attorney General demands documents from ACC related to FSU's lawsuit

Moody filed public records requests for the release of the ACC's Grant of Rights, ESPN agreement and several others.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is demanding the Athletic Coast Conference (ACC) release documents vital to Florida State University’s uphill battle to leave the athletic conference.

Moody filed public records requests for the release of the conference’s Grant of Rights, ESPN agreement, and several others....

According to Moody, the documents are the basis for fees in excess of more than $500 million in forfeited media rights, reimbursed broadcast fees, and the conference exit fee.

The documents are housed at the ACC office in North Carolina, and the conference says school officials must go there to read them under ACC supervision.

Moody demands that the ACC release the records no later than ten days after receiving her request.

If it was in FSU’s possession, it would absolutely be considered a public record. That’s why the ACC didn’t give the schools a copy, bc it would be a public record of the public schools.

The ACC Corporation keeps all copies of the GoR document. No subject to FOIA

 

[BarcaDeac]

Are contracts signed by public institutions subject to FOIA?

 

[PhDeac]

This is typical Florida BS. The state government demands transparency and open documents from everyone else but resists transparency themselves.

 

[awakegirl]

Are contracts signed by public institutions subject to FOIA?

If they’re in their possession, definitely yes. If they don’t access, that’s a better argument that they’re not. Also dependent on state statute.

The lawyer who analyzed the ACC and Big12 GoR documents mentioned this detail, that the ACC documents were held in safe keeping at the ACC office. Hence not subject to FOIA under state rules, as "the ACC" is a private entity.

Just ran an errand and had a bit of the FSU radio broadcast on. It was sponsored by the official law firm of FSU athletics. Wonder if said law firm is working the case.
