The key to the NU/CU penalty money..

[cyclonenum1]

I thought Beebe said that NU/CU wouldn't have to pay because the Big 12 would just not pay them their respective cuts to cover the fees?

I don't know how the mechanics of these payouts work but that is exactly what I would attempt to do...withhold their penalty for leaving while they are still receiving payouts as a member of the Big12.

Yeah...My wife is a lawyer and I told here about Perlman's statement. She LOL'd

(I've always wanted to use LOL)...

Shouldn't it be "L'd OL"? Unless she laugh out louded.

My wife is also a lawyer and agrees with jbhtexas's wife. However, being a lawyer himself, Perlman is not going to state to the press what money he will be receiving or not receiving, for the very reason to challenge it.

I also agree with what others have stated above. Nebraska doesn't pay us anything, they get a reduced portion of the revenue for leaving. I think they only receive 20% for only giving the conference a 1 year warning.

Wouldn't the loss of the championship game because they left be considered a loss to the confernce? Just because the money increased per team doesn't mean the conference isn't weaker.

And wouldn't also all the buy-outs we have to pay be a loss? For 5 years of buy-outs, times 10 teams, that's 50 buyouts in just 5 years that we all would not have had to do if CU and NU stayed.
