Why? This isn't an election. The parties to the deal all know what's in the prenup and what isn't. The presidents don't really care what Katz is right or wrong about.

Quote:But nada. Nothing. The fact is it has never been refuted. To me, that speaks volumes.

It's more likely than not that the prenup says neither side can dissolve the conference against the will of the other. But it's not guaranteed at all. Journalists get stuff wrong sometimes, especially when their source gets it wrong.

True, but remember how lightning quick folks were to refute the notion that Temple could stop the dissolving.

I don't fully remember that. I'm still agnostic on whether Temple has a vote on nonfootball matters. (Yeah, I know what the Temple AD said. )

Surely, if they knew in 2005 what they know now, they would have parted ways then. Just as surely, new circumstances will emerge over the next five to ten years that will make them just as regretful of not moving on.

Thing is, marriages of convenience often end in big messy divorces..
