One of the FSU On3 guys posted some cryptic message that a B1G invite for UNC FSU and a third team that's not Miami (assuming Clempson) is in the works. All of the FSU fans say he's normally wrong about a lot.
Some other dude says there's a clause to break up the ACC GOR deal.
Reddit comment:
"Read an interesting take on this. Apparently there are two ways you can break one of these a Grant of Rights. Breach of contract or fraud...
FSU is going to claim "fraud" against former ACC commissioner Jack Swofford and the ACC... claiming revenue projections presented to the FSU BOT were grossly inaccurate and misleading, and that Florida State acted on these bad faith representations.
Swofford and Jordan knew the revenue projections were unrealistic yet assured the Board profits from a conference network would put the Seminoles on par with their SEC peers.
FSU thinks they can claim "fraud" and use that to break the GOR. Might be that Clemson and UNC could do the same..."
Florida State, North Carolina, Clemson, Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame and call it a fucking day.

FSU can place the ACC under citizens arrest for fraud in this case.

Carl is in favor of anything as long as it isn't the BCS.

That's how I see it. Fox vs Disney, eventually. Leave the NCAA behind (for football), make their own rules and have their own playoffs with a college Super Bowl. It's been heading that way for a long time, still going to take awhile to get there. Probably 40+ some teams that don't want to share with the other 80+ teams. Just a matter of time.It absolutely is, but with a media twist: It's Fox/CBS/NBC lining up against ESPN. They're trying to stuff / keep ESPN in a regional box (ACC & SEC contracts) and go national with their multi-media broadcast consortium.
I really think that once these "brands" are settled and the B1G vs. SEC land grab is settled, the next frontier is the direct-to-consumer streaming package. That's probably a half-dozen years away (or more), but you can see the two mega conferences saying, "You want our content - pony up, CFB fan". And most of us will snap fingers quickly reaching for our wallets.

While adding cal and Stanford don’t really move the needle big picture, it would be nice having two more cupcakes added. It’s already gonna be a murders row with the current/future big ten teams.

I can't help but wonder how continued decline of bundled cable is going to affect all of this long term. Thus far, it seems as though advertisers and in turn tv partners are happy to pay increasingly larger sums of money for a decreasing number of eyeballs. This seems like it can't go on forever so the Big Ten either has to set out to position itself like the NFL where it has such an attractive product that it can continue to deliver large viewership in the 18-49 demo even as that coincides with the increase with needing to deliver a larger rating, i.e. share of tv sets. Or, the Big Ten needs to start being forward looking in guarding against the risk that the floor drops out on the bundled cable networks if they lose their appetite for paying more money for less reach.
That is an overly wordy way of saying the choice of geographic population vs. brands in this next round of expansion seems to be very important
