3. Withdrawal.
No member shall deliver a notice of withdrawal to the Conference in the period beginning on October 21, 2010, and ending on November 30, 2020; provided, that if any member does deliver a notice of withdrawal prior to November 30, 2020, in violation of this chapter, the Conference shall be entitled to an injunction and other equitable relief to prevent such breach, and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall deny the Conference such injunctive relief, the Conference shall be entitled to retain all the media rights of the member purporting to withdraw through July 1, 2023, even if the member is then a member of another conference or an independent school for some or all intercollegiate sports competitions. Additionally, if a member delivers notice of withdrawal in violation of this chapter, the member’s representative to the CEO Group shall automatically cease to be a member of the CEO Group and shall cease to have the right to vote on any matter before the CEO Group.
