Like myself, some of you may have bypassed this part of the WVU agreement on leaving the BE. It appears the BE is covering its ASS once again by trying to help out 'Cuse and Pitt to find 2 football games by having it written in the agreement that WVU will help find teams to play.
This indicates to me that the BE is concerned, and should be, that letting WVU and TCU leave causes UNDO HARM TO 'CUSE AND PITT, which in legal terms is viable court suite material.
I have a sneaky suspicion that 'Cuse does not stay the full 27 months and may be out sooner than we all expect. Take a look at post about ACC scheduling and I think a lot of back room conversation is taking place.
FREE 'CUSE NOW: should be our mantre...here is # in settlement:
"If you happened to peruse the settlement, you might have stumbled upon an odd paragraph under the heading of "Effect of Withdrawal" and the subhead of "Additional Games."
Says it:
"Upon request within a reasonable period of time following the Effective Date, WVU shall use its reasonable best efforts to help the Big East members to schedule additional football games for the 2012-13 season. In the event that either the University of Pittsburgh or Syracuse University makes such request on or before February 15, 2012, WVU will use its reasonable best effort to assist the University of Pittsburgh or Syracuse University to schedule a game with a Big 12 member for the 2012-13 season if possible."
It goes on to say that "if another school announces that it is joining the Big East for football for the 2012-13 season, then WVU shall not be required to take any such reasonable steps to help the University of Pittsburgh or Syracuse University."
THE BE is covering its ASS and frankly I feel if we want out--we get out...c'mon board lets get a petition going...FREE 'CUSE NOW!!!!1 (yes i am getting carried away with this)
