In the realm of college football expansion, the most intriguing development doesn't revolve around the Big 12 or Pac 12; rather, it centers on Florida State. The Seminoles have the potential to challenge the ACC's grant of rights, paving the way for an early exit from the conference if they dare to take that bold step.

I have a reliable source in the sports media rights industry who firmly believes that Florida State was deceived by the ACC. Ordinarily, I would dismiss any claims of an easy way out of a grant of rights agreement as baseless. Although I'm not a lawyer, I have extensively studied the infallibility of the Big 12's grant of rights since 2012 and have consulted numerous legal experts on media rights. They unanimously assert that the only ways to circumvent an assignment of rights are through a contract breach or fraudulent conduct.

Unlike previous rumors about voiding grant of rights agreements, the potential for FSU to challenge the ACC's grant of rights is based on actual claims of fraud, which stands as one of the two valid ways to set aside such agreements.

In conclusion, the unfolding situation with Florida State and the ACC could have significant implications for college football's landscape, and the alleged fraudulent conduct may ultimately pave the way for the Seminoles' exit from the conference.
