However the GOR is not for all rights, but rather T1 & T2 rights as valued by the networks. There has been speculation that the media aspects of the GOR might become null if a fewer number leave. I've heard as few as 3 and as many as 6. It will be interesting to see if we ever find out.
this is nonsense
there are no "media aspects to the GOR" the GOR is just that a grant of rights it is not dependent on the existence of a media contract or not
you cannot pull your media rights from a media contract without first breaking the GOR it does not work the other way around
the text of the GOR has been posted on here before and there is no media contract attached to it
Nobody from the public has ever read the whole thing and all of its clauses Todge. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
the GOR is a public document plenty of people have read it
the schools grant the rights it has nothing to do with the media contract
Produce the whole GOR including it's exit penalties and media rights clause? I'll wait. What everyone has read is the basic document absent its addendum.
this is what you fail to understand
there is no exit clause and there is no media rights clause and there is no addendum
you are asking for something to be produced that does not exist
the GOR is just that a grant of rights it does one thing it has schools grant their media rights to the conference
there is no exit clause to it and there is no media contract to it and no addendum to it
the Big 12 has a separate contract that spells out compensation based on conference membership and fees for leaving the conference, but that does not free a school from the GOR unless they want to take the chance and go to court over it
there is no part that links the GOR to the contract that pays for being a member of the conference and there is no part that links the GOR to the media contract
it was done that way for a specific purpose that has been explained repeatedly on here and links to lawyers that have written about and explained why the GOR is a simple document with no compensation, no exit fee and no ties to the actual media contract
