P12 - MWC

[Midwest Cowboy]

Kind of what I was thinking. We are in for a long battle. Sick of it already. Imagine being pathetic CSU, USU, Texas State with this crap hanging over your head for years. Pox 12 loses...but by how much?

 

[Bear Claw]

Just wondering if dragging this out will hurt the MWC more than it does the PAC? Seems like the longer this goes the more it favors the PAC. They will have stronger footing in the next couple of years. Only thing we can hope for is the courts rule in favor of the MWC and they win all of the appeals that are sure to follow.

The pee12 is absolutely focused on not paying the MWC and destroying it as a competitor. Not surprising at all because the same mindset continues that destroyed the pee12 in the first place. They believe their excrement doesn’t stink and everyone else is beneath them.

This indicates that the MWC held firm to not giving the pee12 a cheap deal or the pee12 was egregiously unwilling to compromise.

September 9 is the hearing on the petition by the MWC to dismiss the suit. The prior dismissal request was vacated when the MWC filed a joint motion to go to mediation. I don’t know if the dismissal is with or without prejudice. With prejudice means pay what is owed and drop all litigation permanently.

Need to find out what goes with the Colorado lawsuit by the traitors because this should mean the poaching lawsuit is going forward in the California Northern District court.

Hopefully Chris Murray from Nevada or a trusted podcaster can provide clarity because we are very unlikely to get diddly squat from a Wyoming media source. This is no secret now so media do your job and ask the questions to inform the public what is at stake. I don’t want to only hear the pee12 version.

I don't think it helps either side - just casts a dark cloud over everything.

We may hear more on the MWC position from Gloria Wednesday at the football media days.

The motion to dismiss is set for a hearing September 9 and if not successful then the suit continues with hearings in October.

What we do know is:

The pee12 won’t be paying the entire penalties unless court ordered.

The MWC didn’t go lowball just to cover the needed $61 million.

The dark cloud is the pee12 is willing to spend a lot more in legal fees and force the MWC to do the same in lieu of paying the MWC. Is this tactic a potential way to destroy the GOR funding and be able to pursue UNLV?

A lot to ask and find out on the possible outcomes.

The losers want to be the only conference for west coast night games. This was planned. Strategic. And shows how low the ewes, the maggie’s, the whole lot is. I’m glad Gloria held firm. I imagine the losers thought they could hardball her and get her to cave.

I still don’t know how the contract cant be enforced. I’m not a legal guy, but a contract is a contract.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The only real winners in most litigation are the lawyers. It’s like one of those class action lawsuits where you get $5 and the lawyers get $200million.

The scuttlebutt is that the pee12 was never willing to cooperate on a deal. The complaint about the addition of GCU was a ruse to cover for the lack of a willingness to make a deal.

The pee12 could lose this because they did knowingly and willingly sign the contracts under the guidance of their lawyers. There is still hope the courts side with the MWC. I am no legal expert either, but I don’t see any way the pee12 walks away without paying something.

Next up - what’s the settlement going to be?
