Clemson is now suing for "punitive damages to Clemson for the ACC's willful and malicious conduct", including "slander of title".  So the original question is still a valid one.

How much does a slander of title go for these days?  Accounting for rampant inflation?

The USFL got 3 bucks from the NFL in an award, millions in court costs. By my calculations they should receive anywhere from 6 to 8 dollars once the dust settles.

It’s more likely some distraction tactic just to keep the ACC lawyers overwhelmed, than it is a genuine grievance.

So Clemson is saying that the ACC slandered their national title? If anything fsu and Clemson should be suing the cfb playoff committee for not respecting or slandering their values after winning a national titles. The who thing is bonkers and unfair for everyone not in the sec or b1g. I find it ironic the other power conferences had no problem making a clean advantage of g5 , but now are upset they are second class citizens in the world of college football. Now g5 programs are third class citizens in terms of conference money.

What is slandering a title? Did Clemson win a natty and the ACC commish said “lucky win”?

What's stronger than "slandering"? Is there one word that equates to "making a mockery of" .......?

Oregon State and Wazzu could soon receive an invitation to the Big 12 according to longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim; who hinted as much in a some

From the article:

The Big 12 may stop at adding Oregon State and Wazzu, but if they don't, bringing on Memphis and USF could make sense. The Tigers just signed a monumental NIL deal with FedEx while the Bulls could reignite the War on I4 rivalry with UCF.  Certainly, the Big 12 being aggressive in adding potential ACC backup plans is the best way to move the needle in the direction of a Power 3 setup in the event FSU, Clemson, and UNC cause a full-blown exodus from the ACC.

So the leftovers of the pac12 and big12 merging together always made the most sense.  Are they going to rebrand as the BigPac18, 18pac, or Big18?
