Our alumni association does it for many states. Missouri is the latest to consider the customized plates.

It's really not a big deal but kinda funny.

That said, I'll be willing to proclaim the Big XII stable when it doesn't have to worry so much about making it difficult for teams to leave. If we end up going to "super conferences," this will likely be the case. No need to shackle down institutions; there won't be anywhere else they could or would want to go.

This. Why would a conference that is worth a damn need exit fees?

Doesn't really matter. The Big 12 schools have such an enormous media deal now that only schools that can't succeed would want to leave.

Imagine not being able to collect your own third tier? lol,.....how un-American

I discussed this elsewhere and it was brought to my attention that the PAC has done it and the Big 1 has done it for a long time. Take it for what its worth.

But has anyone left either of those conferences?

No, but a GOR would have prevented that if they indeed did do it.

Based on illiteracy figures in SEC states, I'm guessing it made the contracts too difficult to read.

Yeah, there is nothing more "American" than trying to hold together a ****hole conference by financially penalizing those who wish to leave.

It's a contract. If you enter into an agreement with someone respectable people honor those agreements.

People with no class or loyalty don't. It's pretty cut and dry.

Why would the Big 12 help schools pay to get out of their contracts, then?

If you leave the contract you pay. That's the point.

Damn. You should be a divorce lawyer.

[Titty Meat]

FSU probably saw teams like KU in the conference and figured those are easy wins.
