I can't disagree more strongly. When two parties enter into a deal, each expect the other not to screw them. whether the contract says that or not.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on this counselor. The act of entering a contract in one area doesn't create a fiduciary duty in every other area.
The University of Connecticut isn't a party to the contract and ESPN isn't going to step out from behind the curtain and say yeah we've been behind all this. Conference realignment is too far from the subject matter of the contract.
Connecticut paid an incentive for ESPN to stay put and meet certain employment targets. That's what we (and by that I mean you) paid for as citizens of the State and that's exactly what we'll get. No more; no less.
