Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5433140, member: 622"] A state entity generally may not sign an agreement which forces the state entity to violate state laws. Private schools can be held to the agreement, but if the state schools cannot sign the document - or if the school does and the state refuses to enforce the agreement - why would any private school sign? Besides, if a school is being forced to sign the agreement, the schools NOT in the SEC and B1G should force an equal distribution, or one TV deal for all, whatever you want to call it. Why sign on to a terrible deal that will forever hold your school back? Use your leverage now, while you can. This agreement, and the fact that Yahoo heard of it in February, may be sufficient to push more federal legislators to want to get involved. I am surprised this agreement has gotten this far. With all the schools that have law schools on top of their legal departments and outside counsel, this scheme appears to fail on its face. [/QUOTE]
