This Clemson beat writer is clueless

This has become the norm...

People are grossly mis-informed. No one understands what a GOR is. Everyone wants to say "its the same as the exit fee". No it's not.

The ACC does not currently have a GOR. The Big XII does. If UT leaves the Big XII, they are still giving the Big XII thier TV revenue for 6 years, and about to be 13.

The buyout is BS. It will be aggressively negotiated. It is not a concern.

I am not a reporter or journalist, but I have been amazed at the writers who are mis-informed and clueless during this process.

"I've been working since I was 15 continually until now. I worked 40 hours a week at 15, when it wasn't even legal for 15 year olds to work that many hours."


Why can a buyout be negotiated but a GOR can't?


Jun 1, 2012, 8:11 AM

If a GOR can be negotiated then aren't they similar?

I'm sure it can...

I didn't say it couldn't be. I said they were different. The ACC does not control Clemsons media rights if we leave.

If they did, we would not be nearly as attractive to other conferences.

any agreement can be broken through negotiation


Jun 1, 2012, 8:42 AM [ in reply to Why can a buyout be negotiated but a GOR can't? ]

but at the core the two agreements have a completely different method/penalty with the same intent...one is to keep a school in the conference...second is to keep a school in conference but with a much higher penalty...to hold a schools media rights essentially takes away many more options that simply an exit fee.

True. I expect a buyout to be worth much less than a...

buyback of media rights. The higher the value of a program's media rights the more expensive the buyback would be. That makes it more likely to lose schools which have programs of lesser value, relatively speaking.

Yoda/york would the next date to look for be when the new commish comes in or after the bcs vote?

Why are people still asking these people questions


Jun 1, 2012, 9:30 AM

as if they are experts?

Is that a retorical question?***

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Because they actually seem to have somewhat credible


Jun 1, 2012, 10:04 AM [ in reply to Why are people still asking these people questions ]

sources and no one has officially proved them wrong just yet.

Could they be full of hot air? Certainly. Could they be correct in everything? Yep. Time will tell, but as it stands, they actually seem to have some info that is useful to others, and they make reasonable assertions, not any of this "ND is coming to save the ACC" garbage.

The point is they aren't saying anything that isn't out


Jun 1, 2012, 11:34 AM

there.

Its regurgitation of the same blogs, yet someone will post a blog saying the exact same thing and everyone will blast it.
