That is legal speak. State you will be staying through the end of the contract....if the Big 12 falls apart before then, you have no buyout. If it stays together, then you can discuss the exit fee.
However, stating you are leaving in 2022 would put you on the hook for the exit fee....best to play nice in the sandbox and then wait and see what happens to the league.
Nobody paid attention to when their contract ran out? 2025. They’ve already asked to join the SEC when their contract runs out.
I live in Miami and they are a small private school who rents the stadium they play in...They are a school rich in history yet the fanbase for them is tiny...Most of the people down here are from somewhere else and have no connection to the school...There is nothing "Southern" about Miami...More New Yorkers down here than good ole boys...Like we always say, In order to be in the south you have to drive north.We are going to find out, because no one is honoring ish rn. This is now a game of Risk. If I were The Commish, these are the moves I would have on the table.
I want Miami, at all costs. Miami is money. Texas sized money. and, really, everybody knows, there is nothing more southeast then miami. Miami is not going to offer themselves up rn. They have hand. If I'm The Commish?... what would you do? ...... I'll wait......
I get Florida State. That fractures the ACC. Clemson has too much power and you cannot deal with them. with 2/3 rds Florida in the SankEC Conference, Miami will be pressured. Without The U in the ACC Clemson is a home run. If I'm Clemson I jump first.
Find replacements or other conferences to join or merge with.I think they will make a deal with the Big 12 and get out in 2022-2023. Now that they have shown their intentions why would the Big 12 want to keep them around until 2025?
I may be wrong but I think that Missouri and Texas a&m just declined to renew their rights. I'm pretty sure their contract was up and they could do whatever they wanted. Its massively different with Oklahoma and texas.Just heard that ESPN owes Texas $ 160m on LHN. ESPN might foot the bill for OU and Texas to move to SEC in 2022. I think they are in SEC in 2022. This happened with Missouri and Texas A&M. They didn't have to stay in Big12 for buy-outs.
With NIL is just business. Play here or play there, finally there will be more consequences for bad behavior than running steps or going to another program.
I would expect a player’s NIL contract would have stipulations concerning their behavior off the field. Get caught pulling a regular student stunt the money stops.
It always been about how players spend their free time. The chance of a bigger contract might just nudge them into working harder rather than goofing it all away.
College football ain't dying, buddy. It continues to grow. Restructuring the league and conferences will have zero impact on that. Nor will NIL money-making.college football will go the way of NASCAR with these new super conferences. Nobody will attend and TV viewership will suffer. The best days are behind this once great game. Greed kills….
