Why in the hell is ole miss contesting Patterson being able to play this year
Ole Miss has to disagree per article posted on SBNation.
“It has to do with a future neutral-site football game.
Via a Freedom Of Information Act request, SB Nation acquired Ole Miss’ game agreements for the 2016 Camping World Classic against Florida State, the 2020 AdvoCare Texas Kickoff against Baylor, and the 2021 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic against Louisville. Tucked into the contract for the 2020 game is this clause (emphasis ours):
If the School is placed under conference or NCAA sanctions so that that value of the Event is materially decreased as determined by [ESPN Regional Television] (e.g. sanctions that allow for immediate transfer of football student athletes or a television/distribution media ban), then ERT and the School shall mutually agree upon a reduction of the Fee (or termination of this agreement), as appropriate.
ESPN Events (ESPN Regional Television, at the time this agreement was signed) is a subsidiary of ESPN that operates games like the AdvoCare and Camping World kickoffs, as well as bowl games and college basketball events. Other groups run other neutral-site games, such as Peach Bowl, Inc.’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff.”
This could cost Ole Miss MILLIONS Of DOLLARS
