The Trumpification of College Sports. Contracts are meant to be broken, commitments are fluid, loyalty ends when you no longer need the other party, and always try to get out of paying your debts.
This is just sour grapes, butthurt whining by two schools who placed football over basketball, and found out over time that the ACC is pretty much only a basketball conference and always will be, and now they want out by means of being rescued from their contracts…. that they probably had some of the highest paid lawyers in the state to negotiate on their behalf. Somebody call the waaahmbulance.
PS: what ever became of that lawsuit against Clemson about the composition of their Board of Trustees per their charter violating state law? Seems like that could have been ruled upon in summary judgment in about three months time but here we are approaching 12 months from filing…..

Sounds like Clemson is royally F**ked to me! They agreed to these terms, did they not?
