I have a feeling this is going to be a long year

Should have signed with NBC

 

NBC lowballed us, and ESPN had the right to match the offer. NBC screwed itself out of having the beauty of AAC football gracing its channels. :D

 

 

Not that it really means anything at this point, but if we had two equal offers, were we forced to sign with ESPN?  

 

Yes ESPN had the ability to match any offer

That's not what I asked.  Did we HAVE to agree to ESPN's offer even though it was apparently equal to NBC's?

yes, contract stipulated that as long as they matched, we had to sign with them.

Do we still have that same clause? Also I am sure there is a way to break contract, especially if we have a good year and seem more marketable it may be worth it.

I'm it would cost FAR more than we could ever afford to break the contract.
