Houston Press - A Seismic Shift: What is the Future of the Big 12?

[Lock City Husky]

Interesting quote contained in this article from Clay Travis of Fox Sports and OutkicktheCoverage.com.

"According to Travis, who is also an attorney, the “grant of rights” for college football television is flimsy at best."

The B12 has been a dead conference walking for quite some time now. But it was never more evident of this than the conference still hasn't expanded by the minimum number of schools to get a football CG, despite being at such a huge disadvantage to every other power conference.

The conference truly consists of 3 sharks and a bunch of little fish that cling on to the sharks to feed off of their scraps.

Notre Dame, Cinci, West Virginia, UConn to the ACC.

Oh my god this just made my entire morning. Thank you.

If he represents you in criminal court, does that mean he'll do 1/3 of your jail time?

Replace the word accidentally with repeatedly and the word dog with son.

Has a credible media lawyer from a real firm ever made a rational case against the GOR? Mr. Travis' assertions that "no court would enforce a GOR" is not a credible legal analysis of the structure.

I believe those are called Remoras.
Love it.

But your analysis is? Got it.

sdhusky says it is easy to break. That is why so many have been broken.

Once again you are wrong about someone else's position too. The Dude has only claimed that the Big 12 GOR is bulletproof. He claims the ACC GOR is easily broken.

Is it really that hard to do a quick search to find out what someone actually said, or do you prefer to make up other people's positions on things and argue with those?

No. I did not say that. I really don't know enough to have an opinion.

What I was trying to say is that you are an idiot and post stupid things. And are NOT credible on a variety of subjects.

You may be right in case, but if so, it was just because you say so much Shot, some of it must stick.

 

[B1GEast]

if that's the case then the ACC is more at risk

My response: Is it that hard to read businesslawyers response? Guess so...
If I were you, responding as me: So, you think bizlawyer is an idiot?

Your act is getting old...

 

[HuskyHawk]

With my lawyer hat on: nothing is bulletproof. There is no ironclad agreement, you can get out of anything. The question is, what does it cost you? My best guess is that it's fact specific, and varies by conference, school and situation (including time remaining on the GOR). None of us and nobody in the media can credibly predict what that cost will be. It's not likely to be zero.
