[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 881779, member: 2426"] I do agree that it is possible that something happens. If the league dissolves, then GOR isn't an issue. I don't know what the language of the current agreement language says. The last one from 2013 or 2014 says that it can only be modified if every current member agrees. I do agree that commitments don't mean much. However, property contracts still do. If you purchase a car from a dealer, give them a check, and get the title to the car the dealer can come to your house the next day and take the car back. If they get a better offer for the car the next day the can pressure you and try to trick you into giving the car back, but they can't just come and take it. Think about it from the other way around. If Clemson, FSU, and Miami leave for the SEC, will GT agree to simply forgo their media rights? The remaining teams might reach a compromise, but they own the media rights with no legal obligation to turn them over. They will squeeze every drop of blood that they can from the media rights. There could be some things in the new contract that provide ways to escape. Maybe whoever signed for GT didn't have the authority to sign. Maybe some language in the contract can be argued in court. The big issue though is that GT does not own it's own media rights. GT can't sell something that it doesn't own. [/QUOTE]
