How so? If KU is swapped then it's a clear admission that basketball is quite popular on TV. In fact, it would show that basketball programming is desperately needed to make these Conf networks more than just a fall option.

It means the BigXII is willing to take anyone who will actually draw a football audience.

KU's a basketball brand. Their inclusion in a ridiculously large Big 20 makes sense if they take Duke / UNC.
If FOX/BigXII is willing to let them out of the GOR, then it's because someone else adds more value Football wise that losing KU isn't too damaging to their profits.

It's a mess. But it could be that Texas is more tied to the GOR than Baylor is since they create damages by leaving, Baylor doesn't.. You can only sue someone for actual damages, not perceived (or even written) damages. If Texas agrees to a 1B clause on the GOR but it's proven they only did $1M in damages, the courts will only award the 1M as actual damages regardless of what a contract said. |

ESPN or Fox would simply show up at their stadium, televise their game, and send the money to the Big 12 to split. If UT is not in the Big 12, they get no split. I think you do not understand the GOR on a fundamental level. Big 12 schools do not own the right to televise their own games. The conference does, and if they are not a member, they wont get a cut of the money gained from their games. The school would have to sue the conference to get their rights back, and that lawsuit would fail miserably, because there is not a country on the face of the earth that protects property rights more strongly than the USA. Thats why there is no getting out of the GOR, unless the conference for some bizarre reason lets them out, or unless there are enough votes to dissolve the conference.

I guess if UT tried to bar Fox and ESPN from entering their stadium, then we'd have a hilarious mess that would probably end with UT paying triple damages.

Well, since the Big 12 owns the right to broadcast games, I'd say yes. Chaining the gates and turning away media would wind up with a hilariously expensive loss that would force the AD to dip into the endowment or beg for money from donors to pay off damages.

Of course, things would never even come close to getting that far, but those are some interesting what-if scenarios to consider.

Then again, I don't really believe in the GOR because I'd guess a contract with this length has an out clause. I find it nearly impossible to believe that Fox has no recourse in a 10 year, 2B deal with the Big 12 other than hoping and wishing that the GOR holds up in court. MN says "They just won't pay". I doubt it's that simple. They have to have recourse vs. Texas if they challenge it, and try to bolt. Thus far networks haven't reduced their payouts upon membership changes....yet. |

Well, according to Wickedson, KU has a huge endowment, so maybe they can afford it.
