I am not an attorney, but I have been involved in two tortious interference cases - one on each side of the table. I would think a tortious interference case would be highly effective in slowing things down and striking fear in the SEC and OU and UT. Can u imagine email discovery and depositions??? It would be fascinating. In the end, from the big 12's perspective, it is about buying time and legally inflicting as much pain as possible against these two pussies.
It has been said many times here - I actually think if they were honest and open on their desires, the big12 would have worked thru it and planned for whatever plan B is.
The way they handled this process.......make it as painful as possible for the traitors. That was the beauty of Jamie's and Wendy's response.
I'm not either.....but you don't need to be in this case when one side has all the money in the world. Ever gone up against the government in a clear cut case of them being wrong and then they paper trail you do death? You can discover and depose all you want..........in the end they are gone. What are we going to find out in their secret memo's.......they think JP is a pud? Yeah......let's get em in court for that!
Only one of two things will happen. One.......it all plays out until 2025. Or two......this year is it.....and they pay a chunk of change in penalties to the remaining members for leaving early. My play is they pay a chunk of change and laugh as the screen door hits them on the way out. They are all but prepared for this. If what JP and WW did was make a play for the cash because hey.....we aren't breaking up...then congrats, ISU will get it's payday in the short run. But then there is this thing called football? What take the cash and have a "wink, wink" by the Big Ten as soon as you get your payday........"come on in, the water is warm"? Because that is the only way I see ISU breaking even with this fiasco.
