I really dont know enough about the ACC to comment.
But that new supposed revalation seems obvious to me. If true, I can’t believe they only discovered it now after years of looking for a loophole.

Everyone else likely saw it, it’s just that these lawyers are highlighting everything to see how they can make something stick to break the ACC contract they agreed to.
Contracts are made by paid lawyers to get other lawyers paid to break them.

They've probably been holding that in their back pocket for a moment like this. Going undefeated in the ACC isn't good enough to get them in the playoffs, so it's time to get out with good reason.

Going undefeated in the 5th rated conf, not being one of the 4 best teams, actually Georgia is a far better team, and losing starting QB. Perhaps there was a video of that undefeated, ACC champion getting smoked by Oregon in 2014?
Where they gonna go????

In the end, did they vote yes to adding those schools?

Though I’m enjoying the schadenfreude of the ACC imploding, I don’t quite get FSU’s temper tantrum here. The playoff goes to 12 teams next year, so this won’t happen again.

Unless you are No. 13 then you can sue over that.

This year it would be Liberty in as the 12th team over 12th ranked 10-2 OU.
13 will have a lot less to complain about outside of G5. Multiple losses and a weak schedule or 3+ losses.

No, they Clemson, and NC voted no. NC was very upset with NCSU who changed their vote to yes at the end allowing those three to join. This probably was the factor that made them want to leave.

Fl St is going to get out. Like a bad marriage or a coach that wants to leave. If the only reason stopping the break up is financial then it’s more harmful to keep them hostage. They will become a cancer to the conference and destroy it from within. They will fruitfully plant the seeds of insurrection and destruction every chance they get.

Florida State may or may not break with the ACC but several articles have contained the 'or else' language highlighted below. Maybe they get lucky and get an exit pass but it could be a money play.
"Our goal would be to continue to stay in the ACC, but staying in the ACC under the current situation is hard for us to figure out how we remain competitive unless there were a major change in the revenue distribution within the conference," McCullough said, per ESPN.

No, $100M in blow, $10M to 5 ladies of the night, and $90M for the subsequent settlements and payouts for their inevitable, but alleged, deaths.

Nothing says strength of conference like the phrase "major change in the revenue distribution".

ACC has already adopted an unequal revenue sharing model which provides "bonus" payments above a base level for on field success. Such as winning the conference, making the CFP, which bowl game you appear in (based on payout). Sounds like FSU wants a greater share guaranteed, or perhaps bigger bonus.Florida State may or may not break with the ACC but several articles have contained the 'or else' language highlighted below.
