Motion to dismiss

[PorkerPoke]

The hearing is set for Tuesday 9-9 at 10 am PDT.

I hope this leads to success for the MWC. If there isn’t some bad language that favors the pee12 in the original anti-poaching contract which violates antitrust laws, the hypocritical pee12 inserted the same thing into their GOR.

What happens if the judge finds that the anti-poaching clause is un-enforceable...does that basically mean that the floodgates for all of these conferences get completely opened?

A whole new bag opens if that happens. Clemson and Florida State will be in an uproar with their situation with the ACC and what they were told a couple years ago. It would be the nightmare the NCAA has been hoping to avoid. Should be interesting.

While it may not happen, I hope the PAC has to pay all of the $145M. They signed the contracts, they should pay the costs.

I’m guessing we won’t hear anything today on a court ruling?

Thanks 303. No surprise a ruling was not issued immediately given this has been a filing for almost one year and the pee12 has tried every maneuver possible to delay the outcome.

Wishful biased thinking of course on my part and I know statements from litigants don’t necessarily mean anything, but I have this feeling from the quick pee12 statement they might be a little nervous that either this will be dismissed or it will be a full court hearing. A full hearing will be their last chance. Could they be getting ready to pony up to a level demanded by the MWC in the mediation as a settlement or will they roll the dice and go for broke if the outcome is not a dismissal. After all, a dismissal can come with an award to the defendant to deter future litigation by a plaintiff.

that the pee12 has to pay in full!
