Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 666295, member: 523"] They signed a piece of paper with the letters GOR on it? I have no inside info on what was signed or not signed, what it said or didn't say. I do have some pause that the people in the room that day were able to agree on a detailed 12+ years of commitment and that all delegation had someone present with the authority to do so on such short notice. It's highly irregular in the business world and less likely in academia. They may have agreed in principle subject to the final draft. They may have said sign this so ESPN will increase our deal, but it's only binding for a year. At the time the sharks were circling the ACC, a GOR announcement of any sort could have been used as a cooling off for anyone thinking of leaving in a panic. Like they did in the BE. Unless someone has read the GOR, it is a possibility that it isn't as binding as some would believe. [/QUOTE]
