[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129516368, member: 1428007"] What I stated clearly is that if ESPN signs a contract to pay conference A $1 billion over ten years with a clause in it that they can reopen the contract and reduce the amount paid by a pro rata share if someone leaves, and then someone does leave, ESPN can reopen the contract and reduce by a pro rata share. What you said is that if ESPN signs a contract with conference A for $1 billion over ten years and then someone in conference A leaves, ESPN can tear up the contract and doesn't owe anyone anything. What you stated is ridiculous and not possible. Then of course when I once again blew up your phony statement, you switched your argument to exactly what I stated and tried to twist what I stated to something else. Everyone can go back and read what I clearly stated and see that you stated that the contract would be voided if a team left. As evidence to how foolish your statements are look at the ACC and BIG 12--both lost teams in the last decade, neither had their tv contract voided as you stated they would be. As for GORs I've already provided links proving the GORs are embedded in the tv contracts. You continue to argue when that's not necessary--just present the GORs of the ACC, Big Ten and Pac 12 which according to you should be easy enough to obtain. Or contact the BIG 12 office or the University of Oklahoma, present them with the document you are so desperate to claim is a real grant of rights for Oklahoma--ask them if its real and present the response unedited here for everyone to see. Case closed. [/QUOTE]
