Calling a goose a duck doesn't make it one.

You are the lawyer here. Is this a "partnership" as envisioned in all that stuff you lectured us on above? Or is this a business relationship between a vendor and a buyer that they are calling a "partnership" because they like the sound of it?

I'm not a lawyer. But I know what a "partnership" is and unless ESPN and the Big East formed some sort of organization then this isn't now and never was a "partnership" in the legal sense of the word. You're the lawyer --- capable of kicking any one's azz in the knowledge of the law --- so how is this a real "partnership"

I spent years in manufacturing firms in which we called other companies our marketing partners. But these weren't "partnerships". When we wanted to have a real partnership, we created another organizational entity ... a joint venture or a new company in which we both owned stock. And these were seperate corporations and not real legal partnerships.

At this point in the conversation, it would be OK if you admitted that this really isn't a "partnership" and all that stuff you wrote that applies to real partnerships really doesn't apply to this situation.
