Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Florida State and the ACC are entering mediation this week, according to a report from Ross Dellenger from Yahoo Sports. Mediation was ordered by Judge John C. Cooper in Leon County, FL. The mediator will try to steer Florida State and the ACC towards a settlement to their dispute in order to avoid a lengthy case that could take several months if not years. It’s important to note that the mediator cannot force a resolution. Are the two sides just too far apart to reach a peaceful end? Florida State is suing the ACC in an attempt to break the Grant of Rights agreement and exit the conference.

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs express doubt that anything substantive will come out of mediation. The guys agree that FSU has more incentive to negotiate than the ACC does right now. The conference is trying to draw this out as long as possible. The guys preview the upcoming season opener between Florida State and Georgia Tech in Ireland. What would it take for the Yellow Jackets to pull off an upset on August 24th? The guys discuss the latest rumors about the Big 12 trying to poach a half dozen teams from the ACC.

Did This ESPN Analyst Cross The Line With His Florida State Commentary? | AP Top 25 Omissions

When asked which team inside the Associated Press top ten will finish the season unranked, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum did not hesitate when saying it will be the Florida State Seminoles. Finebaum is unconvinced about how FSU’s defense will be after losing key defensive lineman to the NFL Draft and how transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei will fill the shoes of Jordan Travis. Finebaum added the comment, “And I think they also have a hangover. I think they used up too many tears crying about not getting in the playoffs and that may slow them down a little bit this year.” Did Finebaum take it too far with the cheap shot at the end?

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break it down, and the guys debate whether the ACC should have had more teams inside the top 25 in addition to Florida State (10), Clemson (14), Miami (19) and NC State (24). Donno runs through an explanation from a lawyer about the nuts and bolts of how mediation works. Florida State and the ACC are currently in mediation, as reported by Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports. Florida State is suing the conference in an attempt to break the league’s Grant of Rights agreement.
