The basketball coach he hired just won back to back national championships. His job at UConn is very stable right now.Which one is stable? ASU is home, right?

UConn is not considered a G5 by some schools.He literally scheduled us home and home recently.
Sure 10 years ago right off the split we weren't. Now we most definitely are.UConn is not considered a G5 by some schools.
Depends who you ask and for what purpose. I think what he was referencing was the fact that the Big Ten either prohibits or discourages scheduling G5 opponents for conference members, but for the purposes of the application of that rule they consider Connecticut to be a "power school."Sure 10 years ago right off the split we weren't.

Still in place though. But, here's the thing, there's a basis for saying there's a perception of our program as being something different than a G5 program. Ultimately, we just need to back that up on the field.Right but that's a policy from 10 years ago
Besides teams from the other Power 5 leagues – ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC – plus Notre Dame, several non-Power 5 programs counted toward the Power 5 requirement. That includes the three service academy schools — Army, Navy and Air Force — along with BYU, Cincinnati, UConn and others.Big Ten 'Strongly Considering' Removing Nonconference Power 5 Schedule Requirement

G5 doesn't exist anymore so why would they require it? I don't schedule time for my dvd player.Big Ten 'Strongly Considering' Removing Nonconference Power 5 Schedule Requirement

May have been previously posted but the lawsuit was brought by this attorney who is a Duke Grad and decidedly against UNC or any teams getting out of their media rights contract and leaving the ACC. In the short run he can probably complicate matters for UNC but once the dam is breached all the FOI's and public disclosure requests aren't going to stop UNC. IMO.
I won't disagree at all with this but there always is the possibility of buying back something that you've previously sold. While I have no desire to do so, there is nothing stopping me from attempting to negotiate with the current owner of the house I purchased thirty years ago, then sold when my exwife and I split.This guy said it a lot more clearly than my selling a house example a couple of pages back. The rights are sold with a Grant of Rights. It is really hard to un-sell them.
Where the Clemson and FSU cases have a sliver of light is around the fact that A) they don't have the actual contract, which may be a statutory violation, and B) the agreement was potentially changed or violated by the ACC at some point. Either could theoretically release members from the GOR, but it is an uphill battle. The difficulty in accessing the agreement by the members in particular makes the FSU and Clemson cases very strange.

Thanks for posting. In my experience, attorneys that love their case or believe it to be rock solid, don't spend a bunch of time lobbying the public on Twitter. He spends a lot of time discussing irrelevant UNC BOG authorities and Wake impacts rather than whether the ACC potentially breached it's authority or engaged in behavior contrary to members best interests in renewing a contract AFTER market values had changed and without their full awareness (allegedly). Anyone know whether the ACC acts on behalf of members as agent or fiduciary? Either actor can be contested on various grounds regardless. Who knows, maybe the last 2 years of the GOR are safe, but arguing for the next 10 years, with 16+ schools, in a dozen states, all with differing contracts rights and laws... Lawyers are going to make a lot of money watching this ship burn imo.
2 years of TV revenue per school- which will be taken from future NCAA Tournament distributions. Sick league!
Maybe the Big East would sue the NCAA - imagine that.Val is right. If the majority of the back pay goes to football players why should the big east have to pay proportionally to football schools?
It sounds like the plan is to have the NCAA responsible for the settlement, which would be funded by the NCAA basketball tournament. The thing is, the PAC-12 and a number of individual schools are also tied to the lawsuit. It seems awfully magnanimous of the NCAA to take this on themselves.It seems the settlement is with the NCAA and the only significant revenue source for the NCAA is the men's basketball tournament. The CFP is separate from the NCAA. I guess they could adjust the basketball payouts to impact the P5 more significantly.
