Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4755255, member: 3609"] Regarding Hail Mary #2, they'd have to wait for all the GoRs to expire because they're contracts between the schools and the conferences, not not between the schools and Fox or Disney. The conferences enter into the TV contracts with Fox and Disney once their member schools sign over their rights. #2 could happen if the schools announce they no longer play football within the NCAA. In some conferences, that would trigger expulsion because they require their members to play football within the conference or be expelled. Legally IRT the GoRs, it could be one thing for a school to try to leave a conference and another thing for a school to be expelled from one (at least that's the argument the schools' lawyers would make). Cuban was right in one sense. Widespread legalized sports gambling went a long way to saving the NFL. Without it, many writers have speculated it would not be as popular. [/QUOTE]
