Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buckaineer" data-source="post: 129498326" data-attributes="member: 1428007">Its doubtful the SEC has no GOR--no one asked if they signed one on their new tv deals and network especially. The Sugar Bowl has a grant of rights--Bowlsby referred to that back when it was signed.excerpt:in the end we will have a 13-year grant of rights on television and we will have a 13-year grant of rights that will cover the 12 years of our vision with the Champions Bowl.<a href="http://www.connect-bridgeport.com/connect.cfm?func=view&section=Sports&story=21504&remote&printView">http://www.connect-bridgeport.com/connect.cfm?func=view&section=Sports&story=21504&remote&printView</a>Also, the Big Ten signed a grant of rights in correlation with the start of the BTN.The grant of rights is embedded with the tv contracts because the paying entity pays the conference the money involved in the grant of rights.  Here's a quote from an article on the Ed Obannon trial that indicates grants of rights are indeed part of the tv contracts:excerpt:<a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/24586549/ed-obannon-trial-suggests-tv-contract-rights-for-college-players">Yes, TV money is ultimately what the Ed O'Bannon trial is about these days. But that's not why the TV contract was on the screen.</a><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/24586549/ed-obannon-trial-suggests-tv-contract-rights-for-college-players"></a><a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/24586549/ed-obannon-trial-suggests-tv-contract-rights-for-college-players">What it was about -- and presumably it's in part why the Big 12 unsuccessfully attempted to seal the contract -- dealt with a "Grants of Rights" provision. Under the clearance section, the following statement was shown from the Big 12 and Fox contract signed in 2011</a>or this from ESPN's Brett McMurphy back when the deal was signed....excerpt:The Big 12 Conference announced Friday it has reached an agreement on a 13-year media rights deal with ABC/ESPN and Fox......The deal includes a "grant of rights" agreement, meaning if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school's media rights, including revenue, would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference.<a href="http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8346345/big-12-announces-media-deal-abc-espn-fox">http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8346345/big-12-announces-media-deal-abc-espn-fox</a></blockquote>
