Akron may not get their money

[Guy Chamberlin]

This would have been funnier if you hadn’t capitalized “grant.”  -1 for lack of subtlety.

I err on the side of hitting young people over the head. 

Perhaps I got caryed away.

No mention, you'll notice, of a severe thunderstorm. Williams said he believed the language about a hurricane or tropical storm existed because former Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst, under whom the deal was struck, might have brought with him an old contract from Miami, where he worked before Nebraska.

Not even a good lawyer.

Liked the article till this line:

Williams said he's open to bringing Akron back in Week 14. That is, as long as the Zips -- or the Huskies, for that matter -- aren't playing for a conference title.

I saw that too and was going to add it to my post.  We need to get back to relevance soon.

They had every chance in the world to play us and left. I wish we weren’t paying them even for the travel. There need to be consequences for breaching a contract

There was no breach of contract.

The Cleveland.com article seems to be designed to whip up the locals. Teams don’t “leave with a check”. I think upthread somewhere it was mentioned that they don’t actually have to pay them until next March. I think both A.D.s are doing a little grandstanding & this all will be quietly settled after the fan bases have moved on to other things.

Yep, like most legal threats and bluster, it has now become a negotiation, the PR on both sides is for show and leverage, the payout will not be whole but there will be some sort of $$ going to the Zips

Moos mentioned that.

I’m not a lawyer, but they didn’t play the game and none of the special circumstances listed happened. If they didn't breach the contract we wouldn't be talking about how they "might" not get paid.

They won't get paid.
