Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4889408, member: 3850"] ESPN is not a signatory of the GOR....the GOR is between the schools and the conference. ESPN did require the GOR (according to Swofford), but is not a signatory party to the GOR. The schools are not signatories of the ESPN Agreement...that would be between ESPN and the conference only. ESPN has no direct relationship with the schools...but with the conference. The GOR assigns "rights" to the conference but only "as necessary" to fulfill the ESPN-ACC agreement. Until I see something that contradicts it, I think ESPN owns schools' rights until the end of the ACC-ESPN deal, whenever that is.... 2026 or 2036. [/QUOTE]
