Oral contracts are usually enforceable, but more difficult to enforce. In this
situation, it probably wouldn't be as the contract by its terms cannot be performed in one year. It's a statute of frauds issue.

Does the AAC have the right to renegotiate TV money if they add 2 teams?

So if both are dumpster fires why would we leave the dumpster fire paying us more and we make our own rules?

The AAC is an east coast and Texas conference.
