Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3221982, member: 55"] That's not the only plausible reading of 1(b), which is drafted very poorly. Yes, the exception to the limitation allows us to speak to non P-5 leagues about our football team, but the restriction in the first place only bars discussions and negotiations about being a member of another conference. I don't think you need to be a member of the conference to have your football team play in it. Was UConn a member of the Big East two months ago because our Field Hockey team played there? You can easily make a plausible argument that would allow you to play football in the Big XII without violating 1(b) by avoiding calling yourself a "member." That having been said, the thought that the Big XII is going to take only our football program is so beyond stupid that I can't believe anyone even posted UConn's agreement with the Big East to see what it says.
