[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129516547, member: 1459051"] No, that's not what you said at all. This is how the conversation went. Another poster asked the question: So his point was, under your GOR scenario, a network could just shift the rights/payments from one conference to another if a team moved. Then you said: Ok, well here you clearly stated that a network (like ESPN) is going to be on the hook to pay the amount of the contract, even if a team leaves. Well, after I challenged you, you said this: So yes, you changed. You at first said the network would still have to pay the same amount to a conference, even if a team left. Now, you have changed and admitted that the network could reduce the amount paid to a conference if a team left. Well, that goes against your whole point about the GOR. If the GOR was between the network and conference, then the networks wouldn't care if a team left one conference for another. They could just reduce the contract for Conference A, and increase it for Conference B, just as the other poster indicated. That's why the GOR is between the schools and the conference. You still haven't proven that the GOR is in the TV contract. You ignored the point I raised. The Fox contract was signed in April of 2011. The original GOR wasn't signed until October of 2011.
