Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4909650, member: 5685"] They granted the TV rights to ESPN in exchange for being compensated. If you leave you, you do not own the rights and cannot sell them. They are still owned by ESPN. So you give up the ownership of the TV rights, but do you also give up the right to compensation? If there is not language saying that, would they not be entitled to the payout? I haven't seen anything indicating that. If it is out there, please provide. Shouldn't be hard. Or to put this another way.. FSU: Hi ESPN, we are selling you our TV rights until 2036. ESPN: Great news. We will pay you $30M per year for that. FSU: Agreed. FSU: We changed our mind we want to go play in the B1G. ESPN: Well we still own your TV rights so if you want to resell them you need to buy them back. FSU: We cannot afford that. You can keep them but you still owe us that $30M a year. [/QUOTE]
