Other teams chose to leave. Therefore, since they chose to stay, the conference continues to exist through them. In essence, it never really dissolved. I'm not saying that would be a valid argument. But I bet that's an argument that would be made. They would argue that the other teams didn't really want to dissolve the conference, they just wanted to leave the conference and because of the GOR the only way they could do that was to dissolve the conference. It is not fair for those who wanted to remain in the conference to have the conference dissolve around them just so some schools could leave without paying their exit fee. Therefore, the disillusion of the conference is invalid, and the conference was never rightfully dissolved and therefore continues in those that wanted to remain in the conference. I think a good lawyer could find some good argument to make in all of that. And it's too much at stake for them to not try. Dissolving the conference just to avoid your exit fee, which is exactly what would be happening, could be argued as invalid and unfairly detrimental to the schools that wanted to remain in the conference. If I was a school left behind I would certainly make that argument and pay my lawyers. ** Edited by wwhokie1 at 8/2/2023, 6:55:41 PM
