In a few short sentences without too much legal jargon, I'd like for someone who works in the legal field and KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT to do their best to answer the following questions for us:
- How ironclad is the ACC member agreement?
- How strong really is the ACC's defense of "tough cookies, you signed it"?
- What are Clemson's chances of getting out of the conference without paying the stated fee and while still holding rights to its games?
- What kind of cards are in Clemson's hand from a potential action standpoint if the lawsuit doesn't go their way?
- Would success from either Clemson or FSU lead to something every ACC school could potentially exploit, say if they had under the table invitations to other conferences?
- Is the agreement publicly available?
