Well this is interesting ... on what theory? Tortious interference with a contract(s)?

Probably won’t but this has a chance to actually get kind of good.

So desperate, all for what constitutes a rounding error for Disney.

$1.06 billion paid to the Big12 over and up until 2025 is a rounding error for Disney? (checks Disney market cap and stock)

They don’t have business units, just a big ol pot of Disney cash?

Yeah, dude who owns that segment would have a lot better P&L if he had an extra 1B.

This is going to be an epic media gang bang on ESPN. The media people will go ape crap over this.

I lost the tweet but a reputable reporter is saying the conference was the American. That jives with an article the athletic published a couple days ago about the American being aggressive. They knew they had ESPN backing them already.

If true, it does seem there could be a claim there--encouraging someone else to do something that you yourself would get in troubs for related to your contractual obligations. P sus.

Definitely setting up a tortious interference claim. The catch is that Texas and OU have up to this point outwardly indicated that they intend to stay in the Big 12 until the contract is up.

If ESPN’s orchestration is to get other Big 12 members to make similar deals, it’s not inducing anyone to breach their agreement, even though the practical effect is for the conference to implode.

I think there’s still a claim there, but I have no doubt the eggheads at ESPN have determined it’s a risk worth taking. In other words they weren’t just banking on not getting found out.

Reports appear to be correct. AAC appear to be a bunch of amateurs.

You know as well as I do that if ESPN didn't stick their noses in that payout wouldn't have reached the full amount. You have to think the eventual settlement will now be higher than it would have been.

I can bang a single drum in rhythm and volunteer to be an extra for the band production when we have at least 3 giant dongs going into the moufs of ou, ut and espn.
