I'd like to see DE back on the ice. He is a -4 but 2 of those goals were scored when he had just gotten on...

As soon as the other teams join the BE, WVU, Pitt and Syracuse will be allowed to leave. The BE has to keep them for '27months' for appearance. If they were allowed to leave without consequence the rest of the BE would be out the door as well. You let those three go and you only have five left, who wants to go to a conference with 5 teams? As it stands now Houston, SMU, Boise and the rest are more likely to join an 8 team conference than a 5 team conference. With a 5 team conference, what would keep Cincinnati and Louisville from joining the Big 12? There would be no waiting period as established by the early dismissal by WVU? Once the replacement teams are on board, WVU, Pitt and Syracuse will be allowed to go. Its like dating, you are gonna keep the one you are with until someone better comes along. You want to have someone to kiss on New Years Eve!!!

make that "Pitt and Syracuse would leave WITHOUT any extra penalties"

Because WVU has contributed monetarily in the past, that is why I thing the circumstances are different than TCU. The BE should ask for more money. The other thing is that it would signal the end of the BE. Pitt and Syracuse would leave with any extra penalties and the other teams would leave if a better offer were given to them. In essence, stick a fork in the BE because they are done. With the 27 months, they can survive for at least 27 months and possibly more if they were aggressive enough. The BE is fighting for its life. Expect a hard fight.
If WVU was offered first, before TCU defected. I'll bet the 27 months would have been enforced with TCU.

I can understand WVU wants out, so they will say and do whatever in order to get out. BE is fighting for its life so they will do and say whatever in order to survive. How is that difficult to understand? Until everything is proven by WVU then BE is entitled to do what is on the contract. If they want to let 27month waiting period go then so be it. If they want to enforce the 27 month waiting period then WVU is out of luck. I'm not an attorney nor did I had a hand in drafting the contract. If you had any part in the wording of the documents please feel free to enlighten me and set me straight!!! So to reiterate, WVU needs to prove breach of contract. But in reality this is more of a pissing contest. WVU will pay out a few extra millions to waive the 27months or have it reduced.

Your comments on RR are similar to my thoughts. I was really ticked at him for a while but i would welcome him back...

Daryl,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your comments on the Dorsey issue. They were informative, interesting, and most importantly passionate. I can't afford to comment on the issue further as I have more assignments to do as part of my internship. I do look forward to our future correspondences though, as I'm sure they will occur.
With utmost sincerity,
Ryan

My problem right now with the BE is that they seem more worried about WVU leaving than adding new teams. I don't understand why the BE won't offer unless they know without a doubt a team will accept. It makes no sense to me. Does the BE think it will make them look bad to get turned down? At this point, nothing can make them look any worse. Several teams are seriously considering joining the BE and if these teams can next year, WVU, Pitt and Cuse would be able to leave after this year. I think that would solidify this conference more so than trying to keep those 3 schools around for an extra year

I agree this is a pissing match between WVU and the BE and I also think it will get settled out of court with extra fees imposed on WVU. And you are also correct that WVU will have to prove the BE breached their end of the contract. But I think WVU has a very good case for the breach of contract. The BE is only trying to keep WVU for money...and that is it. The money WVU brings in from their bowl games and from basketball is the ONLY reason the BE wants to keep WVU. To me, that is not a valid argument for keeping WVU. I also know WVU wanted certain other teams to get invites to join the BE in football but the board, which was filled with mostly basketball schools and ND, voted no on those schools. It does appear as though the BE is trying to save it's basketball schools more so than the football schools....and that is something else WVU is claiming and has a valid point
As far as wording goes in the contract, I have yet to read or see their contract. What I do know is that WVU officials stated TCU signed the exact same contract and were under the exact same stipulations that WVU and every other BE team was under. If that is the case, then the BE letting TCU out of their contract could very well be a legit reason for WVU to get out of it.

Here's the thing....you don't have a clue about what is going on in Morgantown, WVU or the BE. All you see is that WVU signed a contract and you think they have to stick to that contract no matter what. You probably haven't even read WVU's allegations and why they think they should be allowed out. Not only that, you actually think the BE Commish has a right to pick and choose which contracts have to be followed and which ones don't. TCU signed the EXACT same contract that WVU did and you think its ok TCU was let out of their contract but not ok for WVU to be let out. You contradict yourself
