Check out the GOR cases in the entertainment industry. Look up the exit fees paid by departing schools in the past. Then get back to me. I'll entertain specifics to the contrary.

I've already checked out GOR cases involving artists in the entertainment industry who have signed enforceable athletic conference bylaws. They don't exist. You should check out the "commercial activity" exception to sovereign immunity claims and check out whether Kansas, Iowa, West Virginia and Oklahoma are just as sovereign as Texas. Those cases do exist. You should also read the Big 12 bylaws and determine for yourself when the "Interim Period" begins and who controls the revenues when that happens. Your arguments are neither meticulous nor scrupulous.

This is classic dissembling. You put words in the mouth of your counterpart and then argue against them. It's called creating a strawman. Why should paid entertainers sign any kind of athletic GOR??? Of course they don't exist. I checked out commercial activity 10 years ago.

And it's quite clear. The performer gets paid. The question is by whom? All of those cases are about equity (making parties to the disputed contract whole). They are not about and seldom include punitive measures. And if you had looked them up you would know this. Which is why I suggested you do so.

Big 12 bylaws are not law! The may or may not be binding, which is why I said not all clauses and addendums bear the weight of law.

Scrupulous means with integrity which your remarks lack by nature. You didn't engage the argument you created a new one out of thin air. You cite Big 12 bylaws. Those will be interpreted by the courts and measured by precedent.

You also didn't engage the exit fee because so far every school has departed for funds unpaid. Do you know why? Because they can't force collection against another state's school! State's tend to be particular when their taxpayers are dinged to support another state's school.

If the courts decide this matter along the lines I have stated you will be reminded. If they go as you think I'll rep you. But stick to the facts and look things up in earnest.

Maryland got sued by the ACC and it quickly settled for funds withheld, not the $52 million the ACC asked for.
