There’s a morality clause in the deal ASU has with the Coyotes. There’s gotta be a lot of nervous people there right now.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

This franchise cannot catch a break.

As I noted in the other thread - Terrible timing with the referendum.

Project referendums can be tough even when times are good.

I’d have to confirm it but the clause relates to how the Coyotes operates at ASU. Barroway is nothing more than a small investor along for the ride at this point.

But I could see Barroway getting his 5%
stake bought out now just to get rid of the baggage.

(EDIT: I’ve posed the question to Craig Morgan. Hopefully he can get something out of ASU.)

I think it’s best to keep this thread (topic) separate folks. Keep the May vote stuff in the other thread. Thank you.

Why? ASU just scored a free annex and upgrades to Mullet. They want the arena next to the campus arguably more than anyone else. There's no arena without the Coyotes.

 

[gstommylee]

He only owns 5% as theLegend points out and has zero involvement in the franchise what so ever other than owning shares.

I wouldn’t expect anything to happen, but it’s made the newscycle quickly for a reason.

 

[Major4Boarding]

I think you all have to look at both sides from the 50K foot level.

Pro-TED folks will most likely go the same way what’s being said here. (Paraphrasing) Barroway didn’t really have anything to do with the team, ASU’s benefited from AM with the Annex, this ain’t Alex Meruelo, it’s Barroway.

Anti-TED folks are going to want ASU to enforce the morality clause, add more logs to the fires they’re already trying to stoke with this mess (the extra fuel).

I have to think the trick comes down to that clause. The ones I found online and posted last year, the verbiage seemed to leave no “wiggle room” if you will. But it didn’t necessarily drill down and specifically outline every single possible self-infliction examples either.

So where this goes really comes down to ASU’s appetite to either enforce or relax their moral turpitude.

Questions I have are:

To what level does (or would) the NCAA get involved, if at all. As in, they’re made aware but allow ASU to handle it.

Are there any precedents to where ASU terminated partnerships in the past involving similar events.

We’ll see as things develop

It caught the hockey media cycle quickly and it’s not all that unusual. I doubt MSM is onto it yet.

 

[TheLegend]

Appears he’s getting the “Robert Sarver treatment” for now.

[Major4Boarding]

Hate to say it, Craig ol’ buddy, but if Barroway was such a Wallflower or corner-cobweb, the League would not have suspended him indefinitely

League still has to take that action.

Edit: Checking the team’s website he’s not even listed there.

So his status with the franchise is he’s an investor owner.

 

[Major4Boarding]

Correct. I guess my appetite is non-existent with the minimalist crowd. I’d rather get behind what ASU chooses to do versus immediately going the diminished role route.

It irks me in the sense that it almost says f*** what he did (allegedly) he’s a nobody anymore anyway

 

[gstommylee]

if ASU tries to kick the coyotes out just over this that has nothing to do with the everyday fuction of the coyotes, the university risks getting sued for wrongful termination.

That would be stupid if they did to begin with. He's a minority owner, he doesn't represent anyone but himself. Hopefully they just buy his share of the team out at market value and move on. The legal system can handle the crime.

5% owner and his behaviour could negatively influence the coming arena vote. Not that the vote is more important than a woman’s safety, of course.
Guys really need to keep their hands off women.

Why would ASU boot out their high paying tenant? Too much money involved.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

The best move would be to buyout that 5 per cent, and it will probably happen.

Barroway doesn't need this press.

So far the group opposed to the arena and entertainment district aren’t using the incident as a talking point.

So far.

Not relative to the billions they could get elsewhere.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the vote no people are a good bunch and realize using this coward’s behaviour as a means to get votes is wrong. But this guy is for sure an idiot. But him out right now!

Katie Strang is on it…. and personally speaking after scanning the article I’d like to strangle Barroway myself.

This franchise just can't catch a break.

Hopefully they luck out and win the Bedard sweepstakes.

We are aware of the allegation regarding Mr. Barroway and we are working with the League to gather more information. When we have enough information, we will have an appropriate response. Until the investigation is complete, we will have no further comment.

It's time for the Coyotes to let Serrano sacrifice a chicken for Jobu
