Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4256527, member: 622"] What he said. Or, The GOR guarantees the Big12 the television rights until the end of the contract. As the GOR serves as the liquidated damages clause, there is no need to agree to anything less than what is specified in the GOR. As the GOR diminishes in total value each year, the cost to buy out the GOR is more palatable. Once UT and OU are O.K. incentivising an earlier break from the Big12, it will be offered At four years it was better for UT and OU, both of whom could have handled the matter financially, to wait out the GOR. Also, the leverage of the Big12 diminishes as the GOR comes to a close. If either side pushes too hard, the other side simply runs out the GOR and everyone goes on their merry way. i don't have inside information from big donors but I hear rumblings that UT would like to move on. Likewise for OU, again from sources without influence. Take the free info for what it is worth. [/QUOTE]
