I’m with you. But that makes no sense, right?

The first game that can be canceled without penalty is in 2025. We can cancel all games after 2025 without penalty also as long as we give notice after 2023 starts and before 2025.

But that is nothing like what has been reported — which is that we can give notice now to avoid penalties starting in 2023.

TH has been saying all our deals have clauses like that.

Some are slightly different as Missouri’s required 18 mo notice iirc.

mulletino

9/21/21 12:09am

This one requires 2 years notice.

RGGeemer

Actually I think I'm wrong. It requires no notice, just has to be notified

Nope you need to keep reading down to the bottom of the paragraph

Good thinking to not say "if we join the Pac12 or Big12."

That clause 3 is worded in a very strange way. I’m not sure it actually makes

It says "becomes a member." We didn’t become a B12 member yet as far as I know.

DirtyWater

9/21/21 12:35am

We are currently voting members of the big 12. We are contractually part of the league.

Is that true? How do we know that? And does that apply to the other 3 newbies?

I had to read it like three times but I think what the intent is

I’m with you. But that makes no sense, right?

DirtyWater

9/21/21 12:41am

It makes sense. The contract runs through 2034 so the other team wants

That’s not what has been reported. This doesn’t give us the ability to play a

What I am saying is the intent of the clause is not to prevent us from giving

cougarfann888

9/21/21 12:49am

I don’t know how you’re divining intent that clearly goes against what it says.

DirtyWater

9/21/21 12:53am

But I get your point that it is not super well written for us giving notice

cougarfann888

9/21/21 12:48am

A court would have to make stuff up to allow 2023 and 2024 games to be canceled

DirtyWater

9/21/21 12:50am

The word within probably should have said “prior to”. Reading the

You may be right that the attorneys screwed up the contract. But I wouldn’t want

If it really became a problem. Byu could go to big 12 and get them to sign a

cougarfann888

It may also be a moot point since the first game on that contract is in 2025

cougarfann888

9/21/21 1:29am

No we can cancel the 2023 game if we notify them in 2023.

RGGeemer

9/21/21 5:42am

Where does it say we have to give 2 years notice? It just says we have to notify

RGGeemer

9/21/21 5:41am

Never mind, I see it now. Although, this contract's first game is in 2025, so

RGGeemer

9/21/21 6:33am

I read that to mean we can cancel games anytime as long as we notify them before

RGGeemer

9/21/21 5:40am

Tbh, I’d like to keep the games

Bugs me that it actually validates the term "Power 5" by using it in a contract

We want to validate it now that we are in the club

Why is this interesting? We've known this for years.

RGGeemer

9/21/21 5:35am

Because every contract we’ve seen has been similar yet slightly different. I don’t really care if you don’t find it

mulletino

9/21/21 6:12am

Because Tom H., legal… are using those clauses now to get out of or change games

Fascinating questions. Here's another: There were no questions.

spoxjox

Right. Tom put that clause in EVERY game contract he's made for the past 10 yrs
