I wonder what kind of case TCU has considering they never played in the BE. Depends on the contract they signed. If it specifically stipulated that they would have to pay a the exit fee if they did not join then it may be open and shut. They would argue that they signed up to join a league with Pitt and Cuse in it, etc. I doubt that would hold up. It all depends on if they basically agreed to be bound to the bylaws.

Hey, $5 million is $5 million, so why not go after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emails will probably play an integral part of this lawsuit. I am happy to see that the BE is enforcing its agreement with TCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A contract is a contract. If they don't have a valid exit clause that they are utilizing, then they should pay the fee they agreed to. They caused even more harm by not ever playing a game in our conference. BE should also sue for the additional damage it caused to the league.

I agree, but can you prove what additional damages are and quantify/monetize them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
