Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 40402, member: 780"] How are the Big East and ESPN "partners"? With just some Business Law courses and a bunch of experience as support, I just don't see a "partnership" here. The "partnership" with a"fiducary duties" and all that refers to how a business is organized and owned. These are two seperate entities doing business with one another under the terms and conditions of a contract. It's a buyer and a seller, not a partnership. The Big East is the seller of TV rights and ESPN is the buyer. There is no "Partnership" here. You buying stuff from me doesn't make us partners. So all that stuff you wrote about the duties of partners may apply to "Sam and Izzies Dry Cleaning" but not to the Biig East and ESPN. Unless, I would guess, the contract they signed has provisions that address these behaviors. [/QUOTE]
