A graphic that might only interest me but is telling nonetheless:
This thread about off-season happenings in college football has almost 7000 posts. The thread about the current World Cup, the biggest thing in soccer, has almost 700. |

"The Big 12 will evenly distribute any revenue withdrawn from Colorado and Nebraska as part of the bylaws for leaving the conference."

AlNorth- this isn't directed at you as if I'm saying you're wrong, I just quoted your reply since it continues on the topic of discussion re: NU paying or claiming they don't have to & it's unfair. This isn’t about unjust enrichment or equity. How are you going to argue that when we aren’t talking about damages, which are speculative? This is a penalty that is spelled out in the by laws that all parties mutually agreed to. When you leave the conference and break the contract, the penalty is spelled out for both leaving and giving 1 years notice and 2 years notice. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Neb.</st1:State></st1:place> is arguing that since other schools were talking with other conferences about joining that they shouldn’t be forced to pay and will argue they were forced to jump to the B10 for fear that the other schools were going to. The problem is that no other schools besides CU left, and the penalty is for leaving, not talking to other conferences about joining. On top of it, you have to have 9 schools vote in agreement to dissolve the Big12. KSU, KU, MU, Baylor, and ISU were never assured of landing anywhere and viewed by many as possibly being left behind even if the rest did go. All you need is 4 of those schools left behind and the B12 would have remained and those remaining schools would be able to recoup from the ones that left. <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Neb</st1:place></st1:State> chose to jump to the Big 10 before anything else was sorted out, and the language spells out the penalty. It’s not unjust because they broke the contract, and the Big 12 can simply point to the revenue NU generated that was shared that is now lost year after year. Claiming that a new contract that would the B12 more money for the Big 12 doesn’t offset this because for 1 there is no new contract in place, and any new contract that does pay the Big 12 as a whole more would be based upon the a Big 12 that is without NU or CU, so they were no longer an incentive in bargaining between the TV networks and the Big 12 for the new contract. <o:p></o:p> |

And I don't feel like pissing all over Guru's driving thread, but I just thought I'd tell you that not having the sack to look other drivers in the eye isn't so much of a "discipline" as just being a ****ing chickenshit coward. I guess the discipline would come from not crying when your see your kids facepalming in the rear view mirror. Carry on, manly-man. ROFL |

If I'm Nebraska, I'll have to try to prove to the court that it is not speculative at all, that I can somehow prove that the conference will either not be harmed at all or will benefit from me leaving. (ie in response to the guy saying the Big 12 cant prove damages earlier in this thread, I said they dont have to prove damages because Nebraska agreed in 1996 that there would be damages and it would be speculative. It is now up to Nebraska to show this is no longer the case) I don't think its really possible to prove that, and the Big 12 can persuasively argue that they are harmed. So, the contract holds up and NU doesn't get their money back. Hypothetically speaking, lets pretend NU could prove to a court that the Big 12 conference benefits from them leaving, say each school gets $5 million more a year without them than they would with them, basically the "we really suck" argument. Again, I don't see how, but lets pretend that is the case. Then NU might have a good equity argument to get a court to throw out that penalty. The purpose of the penalty is to compensate for possible damages that at the time were impossible to determine. If you can persuasively prove "that was 14 years ago, now we can prove (how?) that the conference benefits from us leaving" then this penalty can be looked at as arbitrarily leading to an unjust enrichment of the conference. |

We have no carry laws here, everyone has a gun. Not a month goes by where someone didn't shoot someone else over some stupid road happening. When I was contracting at the Mayo Clinic our head Network Officer was chased into the parking lot by a dude who didn't like how he looked at him; ended up in a brawl with cops coming and gun being confiscated. I am currently doing a project at a downtown university and there are some funky people driving around here. I don't look at shit, just drive til I get out of the funk and back to my area. To say you don't excercise caution on the roads means you are either stupid or naive. All hick smack aside if you live in a small town you don't get it. Nobody on this board (okay maybe MoHillbilly) is tougher than a bullet. |

Perhaps the next time somebody makes you angry in traffic, you could politely ask him if he frequents any internet bulletin boards, then anonymously insult his wife through the safety of teh intrawebs! |

That shit will get you chased and sometimes shot in any big city and especially where there is no requirement for a permit to carry. I'm curious to know what the statistics are for road-related violent crimes? |

Wait, wait.....50 minutes without a post. This thread has lost its burst.
Definitely will make the Hall of Classics on its first vote though. Come on guys, don't let it peter out until it gets to at least 7000. |

If you agree lets get it on the record. The mods will enforce it. Good thing is I'll have the board rooting for me. Anything to put a muzzle on your ass will be met with applause. If you refuse I suggest that the mods get a new smilie and when :billay: is inserted or clicked on a picture of a dripping vagina appears. It will be more popular than the :facepalm: |

I believe what you meant to say is "if they don't." That great NU edumacations shining through again!! Oh to have such Nowledge!! You find any of that "boar seamen" you where talking about yet? Stand by your team chicken dick. Take the bait.....or I mean bet. Billay in all seriousness I don't think you are a bad guy or a true douchemonger...............you're just a consistently stupid person. Not hatin either. We need people such as yourself to help seperate the ignorant/moron/dumbass people of society from the educated/rational/common folk. You are the perfect example of why people should have to pass an aptitude test before being allowed to reproduce. You know what though...........you are who you are. Embrace it!! |
