The ACC is starting to get really ugly from a pure competitive standpoint in the FBS.

If FSU does exit the ACC does ND have an exit strategy from the ACC as well?

Just to be clear... ESPN decides it can no longer afford to pay for four major conferences football.... Gets in bed with sec and cherry picks the best teams from two of those conferences, causing ones destruction, and then a long with the sec spins a narrative on its social media and network that the undefeated champion of the third league should be left out due to a single injury.

And in the end ESPN gets what it wants. A single football conference to deal with and all the major players it covered.
Something is seriously broken

Strange FSU is suing for a contract they agreed to and signed over 10 years ago.

Think about it this way. Athlete signs a long term say a 20 year contract, and 10 years later athlete sues because he feels he could get more if he was not in the contract and wants out.

Exactly. This is something that has never been tried before. It's absolutely petty abd childish on FSU's part.

Why doesn’t the ACC just pay them? Obviously, they bring in a ton of money in football revenue. Pay Clemson to

Would Florida State give anything in exchange for the money?

They get paid annually by the ACC. They pay Clemson annually also.
