Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

But where does Tech have legal ground? You just can't sue because your feelings are hurt.
Many non-conference opponents are already scheduled for several years out, and I would guess that there are contracts that govern those games. If the opponents back out of an existing contracted game, that opponent would be breaking a contract, which is grounds for a lawsuit.

Funny they could try to sue on that but have no problem with Sorsby breaking his contract with the NCAA and the schools he played for.
 
Where does it say they have to play Tech? Tech in theory could try to sue using anti-trust or collusion but they would have to show harm which is sort of impossible when you don't own your media rights.
So in two minutes you combed through your legal library and found there is no legal ground

Please share your AI code for that

You're the one who shared the link saying they would sue. I asked what legal ground and you didn't answer. So, again, what legal grounds would they sue on?

That’s non con games get cancelled all the time, the language in there is pretty light and outside of having to pay a small fee to some G5 schools this has never been a sticking point before

TT offered to break a contract (pay off) to play Texas.

It’s much more sound to say there could be, given the statement, than saying there isn’t.

Your position requires us to not only know more about law than is implied in the statement, it requires us to know every single aspect of law.
 
The legal system doesn't typically look too fondly on people trying to talk out both sides of their mouth.

But also, the legal system does benefit those with money or those that have friends with money. So, don’t get too excited. Campbell can hire another sleazy lawyer to make this go away.

So you don't have an answer? Gotcha.

They can spend all the money they want on lawyers but you just can't walk into a civil courtroom and proclaim to sue someone because they refuse to play you.
 
I don’t know what to think. Texas tech is arguably the richest big 12 school, I don’t know if it would be smart to refuse to play them. They might bolt out of the big 12 the first chance they get if conference teams refuse to play them.

and go where? If someone wanted them they'd already be gone and would be gone tomorrow regardless if they got an offer from the SEC or Big 10.

They gonna take their ball and go play in the Sunbelt?

TT apparently just said they may consider making it a sticking point. And if I have read correctly, some ADs are proposing that the boycotts of TT go beyond football. Last year, TT MBB played several P4 teams in the non-con.

they’re not

The judge essentially ruled that the legality of his ncaa contract is to be determined. Of which tech wasn’t a plaintiff
