Talking 2012 Scheduling During OB Garbage Time

[CuyahogaCuse]

Tirico just said WVU may be on both Big 12 and Big East schedules with courts deciding on what conference they will play in next year in June?!?

How is that even possible. What a mess.

You've got to believe a negotiated settlement is the best option for all parties.

Really sucks if we lose a date off our schedule because of this mess.

I can't see any court in the land filing an injunction to decide which games a college football team should play, and I've heard the same from legal experts.

If WVU is gone, I believe the Big East doesn't have enough teams to be awarded an auto BCS bid, so we might as well leave too.

No it doesn't, that just means the Schwartzwalder Trophy takes up permanent residence in Syracuse, New York.

How bout WVU just fields 2 teams for each sport? As long as title 9 numbers matchup, they should be golden. They can send their scrub team to the BE games kind of like a JV squad.

This is the idea I've liked best. Schedule the games, tell the Big East that they can come play the games, they'll have the stadium unlocked, they'll have all walk-ons, they'll take a knee every play, and they won't sell a single ticket. Fulfill your minimum obligation and see if anyone wants to televise it.

All non-Big XII BCS programs should then refuse to schedule WVU for 10 years. While all schools and conferences compete, it is cooperative competition.

The "clean" way is to allow all three departees to leave after the 2012-2013 year for an extra $5M or so.

The reason the Big East needs WV, Pitt, and SU to stay for at least one more year is that as I understand it, a 5-team conference can't get a BCS bid by rule - like the auto-bid rule for college basketball.

Actually, I'd run a JV team and sell tickets cheaper. WVU fans could have a home game every weekend. Imagine if their JV team actually beat some teams?! Would be amazing as long as it wasn't us. Collecting the BE money while collecting the B12 money should be more than enough to fund this.

My other standing option is to pull their FB team to the Big12 and leave the rest in BE. They are then fulfilling as much of their contract as Notre Dame. Or play basketball only and fulfill as much as equal voting members like Prov, SH, DePaul, etc.

I just want to see something creative, and outlandish that there is nothing Marinatto can do nothing legally about. WVU needs to think outside the box because what they're trying right now isn't getting it done.

B12 schedule w/ 1 MAC, CUSA, Sun Belt, 1AA isn't really a deterent from leaving the BE. :noidea:

Hey can't fault me for lack of creativity.

Not that it would hold up in court but in reality that could be used as part of their argument for how/why the BE didn't hold up their end of the bargain in creating a competitive league.

Figure it'd have a better chance than what they are trying now since it uses precident that was set by the league as far as what is acceptable from current members participation.

 

[Scooch]

If only there was some kind of organization with oversight that could resolve these matters.

An association that governed national collegiate athletics, if you will.

:bang:

Gee if you say so, it must be true: care to provide any reasoning or comment on the Rhode Island decision below? Obviously, the Rhode Island judge never spoke to the unnamed legal experts you consulted with.

If a public university signs a contract with an organization outside the state and conducts its activities outside the state, is it also immune from the legal process for damages as well? Can Texas decide tomorrow to join the PAC 12 and take back the media rights it assigned to the Big 12?

No it doesn't, that just means the Schwartzwalder Trophy takes up permanent residence in Syracuse, New York.

And all that means is that the Schwartzwalder Trophy will have dramatically diminishing value. Just like the fact that the NBA used to play in Syracuse, it will be forgotten by players as time goes on.

Neither of those is an injunction.
