[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 949943, member: 2426"] I don't think that actually works out. I haven't seen the ESPN contract, but I seriously doubt that the contract would allow losing six teams and the associated games with those teams and still pay the same yearly rates. It would be asinine to sign a contract for a set dollar figure and allow for the quantity and/or quality of the product you are paying for the arbitrarily drop. The GOR contract requires every single member to agree to a change. In your scenario, it would maybe happen if it caused the revenue for the remaining teams to increase. But there is no way ESPN will pay the same amount for 4/7ths of the games, or the same for games involving UAB and Middle Tennessee State instead of Clemson and FSU. The GOR is an issue. This seems like another fan invented way of getting around the GOR that wouldn't actually work. [/QUOTE]
