Message: [QUOTE="Orangello, post: 62911, member: 597"] So the networks can negotiate a reduction in broadcst fees if a member leaves but the opposite isn't true (the conference can't negotiate an increase if it[B] adds[/B] members) ? If Moronetto has intentionally been delaying the entry of the new invitees just to hold SU's, Pitt's and WVU's feet to the fire, this could get very interesting indeed. How has the conference been damaged if they're right and nobody actually leaves until July 1, 2014 (beyond the legal fees and costs associated with seeking an injunction to force WVU to stay) ? I just don't see it. They have to renegogiate the TV contract anyway. It is almost a certainity that will result in more TV money irrespective of who's actually a member at that point in time.
