The rest of the tweet FYI:
This would save the university over half a billion dollars, so it's clear how IMPORTANT this lawsuit is... now here's where the ACC really messed up:
In 2016, the ACC signed a 11 year TV deal with ESPN, currently set to expire in 2027. This deal also gave ESPN the option to extend the contract from 2027-2036 on the same terms financially...ESPN had to decide by 2021 whether they would extend from 2027-2036, but ACC commissioner Jim Phillips extended that deadline to February 2025 in a formal amendment that he allegedly signed ON HIS OWN... The ACC bylaws currently require approval from 2/3rds of all members for any amendments, making this action by Phillips a VIOLATION. Legal experts believe that this egregious action technically invalidates the ENTIRE conference contract. This may be the smoking gun that breaks the ACC's Grant of Rights
