[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129460256, member: 1428007"] Money is what is important to most. The problem with your thoughts on GORs is that money (and time) would be needed to get someone to leave a GOR-if they desired to leave their conference. The facts are that the Big Ten has put out its best guess assumption on what it will get for its new tv contracts. That money is NOT enough money to keep existing members whole and to buy anyone in the ACC, Pac 12, BIG 12 or anywhere else out of a grant of rights agreement--which is not the easily breakable contract that the internet has dreamed up. Its also not enough to get a school to buy out of their conference just for departure fees (remember Maryland paid over $30 million and they didn't vote for the increase). Conferences own the media rights and will be paid the media rights. Sure someone could go into an expensive legal fight to try and get out of one if they really wanted to--but in the meantime they won't be paid for their media rights. In fact virtually every conference has wording in their bylaws that you won't receive anything once you officially leave a conference--and as Maryland found out that holds up in a court of law to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. So, a school trying to leave will be without revenues for years, and paying court costs. The conference they try to move to won't make anything trying to put them on tv and could actually incur lawsuits themselves if they tried to and weaken any case. They would also destroy their own grant of rights. Networks are not going to get involved in breaking a legal contract tied in with their conference agreements which would then jeopardize those conference television contracts (in other words, if you are the ACC and ESPN aids the SEC or Big Ten in raiding you, then doesn't honor your tv contract paying you media rights for a school that left? You can then turn around and legally claim that ESPN has voided your television agreement and you are free and clear to move to another network and make a contract with them). To believe otherwise is living in fantasy. No one is trying to get out of a grant of rights, and no one is trying to break a grant of rights. [/QUOTE]
