A source told Brett McMurphy from Action Network that the ACC has “no incentive to settle” with Florida State and Clemson in court. They added, “less than zero percent.” Clemson and FSU are suing the league in an effort to break the Grant of Rights and leave the conference. Will ACC commissioner Jim Phillips and conference lawyers be able to keep the fight going and hold them off in court?

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs point out the likely posturing in the ACC’s stance and Donno points out that if the ACC starts losing in court, their incentive to settle could change quickly. Last year, seven ACC schools held meetings to discuss the Grant of Rights. Is there a possibility that this “Magnificent Seven” could rekindle their talks and look to break away from the current ACC to form their own league? Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports has pointed out that for FSU, Clemson and others to join the Big Ten or SEC, schools in those conferences would have to agree to a lesser payout to add new members.
