[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129514878, member: 1601483"] I see nothing that detracts from the authenticity of the posted Big 12 GOR. If nothing else, that would be hours of work to create a false document that is so close to what we all believe it we be ludicrous to publish with a couple of changes. As a Delaware corporation, the Big 12 can exempt any and all dealings with broadcast networks and others for financial or any other agreements from FOIA requests that WVU does not have to consent to. I know that the section of the Big 12 GOR that WVU agreed to is public information by law. No public institution may enter into 'secret deals' with anyone when it involves the receipt of or expenditure of funds except in the case of an anonymous donor. The broadcast rights of WVU athletics has a monetary value that cannot be secretly given or traded away. Many of the members here can file a FOIA request and receive the same document I linked to. I can't, I have no legal standing as a resident of South Carolina. Thanks in part to WV Civil Action No. 13 - C- 468, all financial transactions and agreements entered into by WVU are public record. No disrespect, Buck, but we disagree on this one. [/QUOTE]
