[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129514829, member: 1428007"] The BIG 12s gor is not the document that is posted above and has only appeared on message boards. It was created by a fan of another conference and has never appeared in any news article or mainstream media. For anyone that believes its real, I challenge you to provide the ACC grant of rights, the Big Ten grant of rights and the Pac 12 grant of rights agreements. If as you want to believe they are subject to FOIA release, then nothing should stop any of you from easily getting those from your school of choice. The Grants of Rights are embedded in the television contracts (and they and the tv contracts aren't subject to FOIA requests): excerpt from Forbes discussing the tv deal: [COLOR=#0000b3] Furthermore, a [I]grant of rights[/I] agreement [B]embedded into the deal[/B] offers added stability. This agreement means that if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school’s media rights and revenues would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference.[/COLOR] [URL]http://www.forbes.com/sites/prishe/2012/09/07/20-million-reasons-why-sec-schools-love-big-12s-new-tv-deal-with-espn-fox/#1146012e7489[/URL] This is necessary because not only are the gors protecting the conferences, they are protecting the value of the tv contracts the tv partners pay. The television partners are the ones delivering the money to the conference rather than directly to the schools. The BIG 12 (and probably SEC also) have a grant of rights for the Sugar Bowl as well-signed to guarantee the $40 million per year to the league when its not a playoff rotation. Here's an interesting article from the time when the ACC convinced FSU to sign a GOR just for an FYI of the lengths these conferences sometimes go through to avoid "sunshine" laws-- excerpt: [I]The ACC had added Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Notre Dame (as a partial member). The Big East was imploding, and rumors were circulating nonstop that FSU was being courted by the Big 12, Big Ten or SEC. Barron knew his trustees were hearing it from various stakeholders on a daily basis. He understood they had questions and concerns. Rather than try to provide answers himself, Barron decided it might be better if Swofford could update the board personally and clarify the many misconceptions circulating on Internet blogs and message boards. Swofford was happy to oblige. But instead of attending the public workshop in St. Teresa, he and Jordan opted to meet one-on-one with any trustees who might be interested the day before, March 6, at FSU's Turnbull Center. By meeting individually, those discussions were kept private, legally circumventing the state's sunshine laws.[/I] [I][URL]http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/04/25/acc-commissioner-john-swofford-lobbies-florida-state-grant-of-rights/2113527/[/URL][/I] [/QUOTE]
