@flugempire So all this is to say once GOR in Big 12 is within seeing distance it's all over for them. KU OU hop and rest pray for best?

I never understood this idea that "once the GOR is close  to expiring or expires there will be movement"

Why would a conference let the GOR or any other contractual agreement  expire or come close to expiring given the climate.
Doesn't it stand to reason that if a GOR  for a conference was from 2010 to 2020 that all the conference mates with no intentions of leaving would have a vested interest in lengthening the GOR many years prior to its expiration?

Do the GORS coincide with the length of the TV contracts?If so would it not be in the best interest of the ESPN'S of the world to circumvent defections by negotiating well before expiration.

All this talk about GORS expiring will open things up. Why would any conference members or media partners that want to stay together allow that to happen.
