Clemson agreed to all of this!

in a sense, this is buyers' remorse and I think the ACC's counsel will sell it that way to the Court.
Clemson's best hope is to use this as leverage.
the ACC wants these cases in NC state court but i suspect they will find their way to being removed and then consolidated in federal court in the Western District of North Carolina.

What kind of golden parachute the ACC execs get when the ACC collapses?***

I'd much rather be on the ACC side than the Clemson/FSU side of these civil actions.

Hopefully the Courts will be political enough to give CU & FSU relief.***

Federal Court in Western District of North Carolina - Charlotte Division, there is a chance that Senior Judge Conrad (a Clemson Grad) gets the case.

Ask her this:
Could Clemson argue this as a non compete agreement? Clemson has agreed to work there. Now they dont want to. ACC wants them to work for half their value. Clemson just wants to leave and seek their true worth in the market. They are doing nothing that inhibits the rest of the conference from seeking their value. Judges and juries rarely enforce those. Is it possible to make that part of the legal argument?

and among very sophisticated parties.
Now, I suppose you could argue it is an agreement in restraint of trade in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act but that would be a very difficult case to prove.

Thanks. I can see all that. To a non lawyer's ears it sounds like we agreed to accept future money in return for not leaving, and that sounds unenforceable, on some basis. We'll see.

She said if we want the judge to roll his eyes or possibly laugh at us.
Her suspicion is there is a timing component. She looked at it briefly said CU has known this crap for years and we’re just now filing a mediocre, at best, suit? What other schools are going to join the parade?And is there a window of opportunity to renegotiate TV dollars coming up that could be influencing our decision?

Thank you for asking her. She's too nice to say a thing like that. 
Yes, she of course seems to be right about the legalities. But Clemson is not stupid. I'm hoping - we all are - that they have some end game in mind with this. I'm just throwing out ideas about what that might be.
