Yeah, horrible, there was no way we didn't enter gleefully into the arrangement. Not buying it, Gloria.

They can call it whatever they want, "poaching penalty" or whatever.
That's a non-compete agreement, not enforceable in California.

It sounds like she knows she is going to lose based on the last sentence...there has to be consequences for these types of actions...it is such a crying plead for consequences. Just seems like something someone would say when they know they are going to lose. |

I think that she / Mountain West Conference - is in the right. What she says seems right and fair… At least for the current school year. I wear orange colored glasses but that’s how I see it.
We will see what legal decides.

Ummm. No. Non-competes refer to employment, not ordinary commercial activity.
I think that the term you are looking for is "restraint of trade".

We will see what legal decides. I think part of it too is whether what the Pac-12 claimed in that they signed saying out loud it was unenforceable, may help as well. Also, people need to remember that the MWC wasn't full of angels. They ripped apart a previous conference to create the MWC. Gloria can sit here all day and say "WE knew this would happen!" If you knew it would happen, don't do a scheduling agreement and let the Pac-12 die trying to schedule games. Vote to increase the exit fees to $50 million. Renew your media deal earlier to lock out OSU/WSU. |

Like I said, call it whatever you want. It's an anticompetitive agreement that isn't legal. |

I think everybody that posts an opinion on this should note “Lawyer” or “Outhouse Lawyer”.
My personal experience as a duly respected outhouse lawyer is that when arguments make sense, and seem logical, the court finds the opposite!

Did you feel that way in the Pac's suit against the traitorous ten? Edit: Lawyer |
