[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129515900, member: 1459051"] You are backtracking. You clearly said that if a conference lost teams, the networks would still be on the hook to pay that conference the amount in the contract. Your quote: Ok, so what you said there is that if ESPN signed a deal to pay Conference A $1 billion over 10 years, ESPN would have to pay the $1 billion, even if Conference A lost teams. Well as I pointed out, that's not at all true. If Conference A lost teams, ESPN could legally restructure the contract and pay less money to Conference A. That was the point I was making, and I'm 100% correct in my point. You even admitted it. You are still wrong on this GOR business.
