USF has hit 2 in the polls
Because contracts were entered into for a very specific reason by all parties. Each school did extensive due diligence and decided to agree to the terms of the GOR in full.
Taking them to court would not be UConnesque. How can you not understand that. First, let's be clear on one important point. UConn didn't take anyone to court. The state A.G. did. Not the same thing at all. Basic civics which I see is not taken by the same people that don't take business courses. To enforce a business agreement, is not being a dick. What in the world do you do for a living? And to me finally getting it. I said a boatload of money. That means a lot more than what the GOR would give us.
Forget it. Some people are not understanding of business principles. We have lived it. Therein, lies the difference. In their world, you are being a dick for standing up for the contract that you signed. You know, when I was a kid, we played checkers. And sometimes we played you had to jump, and sometimes we played that you didn't. But we always set the rules before the game. I guess we were being a dick if you enforced that rule.
if you dont think every school has a team of lawyers coming through this 'contract' and GOR you really are playing checkers by some weird-ass rules as you are continuing to bring a knife to a gunfight.
Well, two things are clear. 1. You don't have any understanding of business. That really isn't surprising. The second is even more troublesome. The people that are successful in life, don't panic. They don't sell in a crash. And they don't rush to do things when there is winds blowing against them. You scare so easily. You should change your name to Neville Chamberlain
The time for that would have been when they signed these "contracts." You never put ink to paper on a contract where you don't know exactly how to get out of it/terminate it. You're always optimistic it never comes to that, but it's foolish not to know up front.
We’ve heard this tune before, and very few people agree with your GOR views.
Which states other than Alabama, Mississippi and Texas?
You forgot Tennessee
Tennessee. But your point is valid. I thought it was more. When I looked at the actual map, I had to hang my head in shame. I am no w self - banning for 27 minutes and 14 seconds.
1. you are right, i am not a businessman and certainly not the Prime Minister of the UK, im an advisor on Wall St, but i will take that as a compliment that you think i can rise to such a lofty status, i just wouldnt be foolish like him because...
Seems to me like you're talking past each other. What I'm hearing is the landscape around a long term contract has changed to the point where it is highly likely one party or more will be willing to break it as the opportunity is greater than the consequences.
Neville, You get more sad every day. I have been a director of financial sales for one of the largest financial institutions in the country. I wouldn't hire you. I would help you get help, however. Not the once a week kind either. The round the clock type.
Kaiser was saying just let them go. That is what got this started. Just let them go he said. If the money was right, I would make a deal. But the money would have to make those wishing to leave, hurt.
Yes.. let them go. Come up with a number - a big fat one - and let them go. It's the only option really. If he's saying something else.. he can say so.
The thing is..we don't even know that those schools have anywhere to go. We don't know what we don't know. Maybe the SEC doesn't want Clemson since they already have South Carolina. Maybe the SEC doesn't want FSU or Miami since they have Florida. The fact is, we don't know.
Of course no one said otherwise!
my whole god damn point has been to see what is available and do it amicably and on top of the table so as to not to walk away with nothing.
