In another word, is Grant of Right legal(Anti-trust)?
So is the case for autonomy. If a small school wants to sue P5 legislation or NCAA, would they have legal support?
As of right now, the expansion is over for a while. But I am thinking that some schools will do something about their memberships in recent years.
Or is there a de-GOR process?
We all took it for granted of the validity of such contractural bindings.
I am not a lawyer and no where close to be one.
Just some speculation of things.
Hard to sue when GOR is an agreeement signed into by the schools. As for P5 Autonomy, NCAA passed it and it went through the process, not sure how a school could sure when it passed by majority vote.
The only lawsuit I could dream up would concern unlawful NCAA rules. Players should be able to profit off of their talents like every other free citizen. Yes, they get a scholarship to play and I think that's fair, but if some schmuk wants to pay $1k for an autograph, so be it. Off the field income generated due to on the field popularity should be off limits to the NCAA. The whole case of the YouTuber they made take down his channel is ridiculous. Now, not only can you not profit off the field for on the field accolades, you can't own your own business because the NCAA says you have to give up sports and a scholarship? Like big tobacco, NCAA is destined to fail when someone figures out how to litigate the case
Get the litigation started already!!!
It is all legal, and valid. I am not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
You could probably make a case. But it will never get to that. There is probably a buy out somewhere in the contract.

there is no buyout in the Big 12 GOR
the document is online
and there is nothing anti-trust about it
No buyout, but you can put a dollar value on the harm that it would cause the remaining conference members - and it's expensive. However, the ability to negotiate a business deal to get out of the Grant of Rights will increase - and the cost will go down - the closer we get to its end. Probably not until '21 or '22 before a deal would be cost effective enough to make sense.

We are talking about lawsuits...not the demise of industry
Since The Big 12 GOR isn't likely to be extended we'll have the opportunity to see what happens as it winds down.

Aren't the current B12 payouts bigger than most of the other BCS conferences? Why would they want to change that?

there is still a 99 year contract for conference membership that does have an exit fee associated with it and that has been upheld multiple times with the Big 12 and in similar fashion with the ACC and Big East
