Report: CUSA Schools Sign Grant of Rights

[Coach Bill Lewis]

This is the first that I have seen about a GoR agreement amongst the CUSA schools; has to be pretty credible if Chris Vannini is reporting this morning during his league preview.
 

Quote: In addition to this new five-year media rights contract (plus a one-year option), CUSA schools have signed a grant of rights, according to a source familiar with the agreement, giving their media rights to the conference and keeping the league locked together through the deal. It’s a major step up in stability from recent years, and no other Group of 5 conference has a grant of rights.

Would like to see the AAC do something similar.

Going to be tough to split that 5$ 9 ways…

Why would they want to chain themselves to Judy?

Good for them.  Not our conference any more.  Bye, bye Bill.  Give Judy my love.

I could be wrong, but GORs are standard with all teams/conferences. We probably had signed one with CUSA and now with The American.

Well, they did figure out a way to split up Abe Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in 1865...

Great comment!

Liberty U is going to own this conference. They invest 30% more money in everything than the next highest programs, and they invest 5x the new joins. Their greatest foe will be the all familar problem we grew accustomed to, lack of exposure. 

[El Paso Eagle]

The problem you will run into sooner or later is that when a program can invest the money and buy players they are eventually going to have the potential to have a talent Gap that's going to be hard to make up.

They granted themselves the right to be in a crappy conference.

Judy is an absolute joke of a commissioner. So glad to no longer be associated with that dumpster fire.

Well, we all know why she is still employed.

I have no idea why she has a job.  She is terrible at her job and CUSA hangs on to her.  I was always amazed the CUSA looked to her for leadership.   Maybe no one else wants the job?
