[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 987857, member: 6459"] If it's a unilateral option then I don't think it is reasonable to assume that. I'd be asking myself "what do they know that I don't, what are they trying to protect themselves against, since they're the ones in the media business?" It's just a plain bad option to sign: if future media deals are worth more, you're giving up 9 years of higher revenue. And if they aren't, you are no longer safe! Signing that deal is close to strictly[B] worse than signing one that just plain ends in 2027[/B][*], and the schools should've been smart enough to not extend the GOR past 2027 if they couldn't get a firm deal past 2027. [*] well, you might be frontloading some money that ESPN wouldn't give you otherwise, but that doesn't answer the question of not tying the GOR extension to the media deal extension. If you're drowning, why do you want to be tied together anymore? [/QUOTE]
