Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 3913082, member: 1312"] There has been some discussion of Grant of Rights. For Texas, the GORs doesn’t appear to be that big of a deal as it probably only impacts about 4 home football games per year and the GORs expire in 2025. Texas has the rights to 2 home football games through the Longhorn Network. The Big 12 schools control their own Tier 3 rights so all of them have some flexibility. This, I don’t think the Big 12 GORs is going to hold up Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC. One other point about GORs. Conference exit fees were litigated in the Maryland case and UConn is paying to exit the AAC so exit fees appear to be enforceable. As far as GORs, we haven’t seen anyone try to break recent GORs, so we don’t know how judges would look at them. I would think a judge would at worst require a conference to pay a school that left the conference for their media rights even though the former conference retains the rights. [/QUOTE]
