He's not asking for rescission. He's asking that the team be placed into the ownership of a trust for the purpose of selling the team to a Seattle owner. Schultz is very happily hanging on to his 350 million.

That's what I don't get here -- he has raised an issue of what has to be material breach. The only trouble is that even under his own facts, even if there was a breach, it wasn't material. He got paid, that was the purpose of the deal, you've got to have a material breach to even get to the question as to whether we're going to unwind the deal and do the constructive trust.

I see three major hurdles: 1) Standing; 2) material breach?; 3) Is equitable relief necessary in this case, or will cash damages suffice?

In my own mind, trying to be as objective as I can (and obviously being not totally sure what everything says and where it is), I don't see a likelihood of any of those being cleared.
