It doesn't matter what the contract says. Actually that may be all that matters. It is more likely than not that Parole Evidence doesn't come in if there were a trial (which I don't believe there will be). As for what Barnes will say in a formal legal setting, I highly doubt he wouldn't stand by the contract that was signed with his involvement -- that would impact his own credibility and his career. Funny thing about a formal legal process, many good 'ole boys like Duryea find out that formality trumps their buddies.Barnes as others in the athletic department are going to say that it was supposed to be 5 years like they agreed on.

Pretty easy for Duryea's golfing buddy Shawn to print a bad self-serving story in the paper; but it certainly doesn't control the legal contract. I know what I am talking about.

What happened to my request for the computer geniuses on this site to look into tdfan5477's true identity? I am literally DYING to know. I have never wanted anything more in my entire life.

Maybe I could persuade 5477 to reveal his identity? Although I doubt it. I know he's been offered free lunches by some on this board. I definitely don't have the funds to offer a free lunch. Please, 5477, tell us who you are, really.

Anyone want to go on a 3 month vacation? Our flight departs on 6/1/18 and we return on 8/14/18.

In case you missed it, that means the vacation is over on August 14th, 2018.

I am pretty sure I know a little bit about this type of thing. It's kind of what I do.

I would rather hear from someone who actually does this, not just kind of.

'Blue and I kind of both "actually do[] this, not just kind of."

I disagree on the ambiguity issue. The specific is preferred over the general, and in this instance the specific item is the end date of the contract. Contract interpretation is the question here, not ambiguity, and the interpretation is not particularly difficult where one has a specific date for the start and a specific date for the end of the contract. 'Blue is quite right: where the best reading of the "five year" provision is an accommodation to a party's fiscal year, there's no reason to read ambiguity in the face of those specific dates.

If you are really taking that position (instead of just acknowledging that your initial post was wrong) then you need to do something else for a living. My statement that I kind of do this was tongue in cheek. I do this.

Listen, I'd like to see him lose, but parole evidence is coming in and this issue is very, very likely a question of fact that goes to the trier of fact (whether that be a judge or a jury). If Barnes is really going to testify that the contract was intended to be for five years, then I like Dureya's position better than USU's

But I agree with the real lawyers here that before it gets to a trial it will likely settle.

As an actual lawyer, I concur. All that needs to happen is that once both parties pass probate, there will be an indemnification period wherein each litigant will depose disambiguities, therein ensuring proper tort. This is the only way for either party to be satisfied. Otherwise, this will pass into a MacPherson-Rhys-Wahlberg mediation, which differs from common mediation because of the name. If that happens, Tim Duryea will own the Spectrum.
