phantombob Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Move this show to Camp Randall next year. Madison actually likes drum corps, and the fans would love to go back to Madison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 What good would a contract have done if DCI doesn't have the wherewithal to enforce it and likely couldn't have reached a definitive outcome in time anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm. Ok. Do they have a history of having contracts and not enforcing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Lousy DCI management & administration once again on display for everyone to see. Ummm. Ok. Do they have a history of having contracts and not enforcing them? You mean the DCI management and administration that secured a major stadium multi-year contract at Lucas Oil for Finals; or the (cough) lousy DCI administration that uh… ‘allowed’ some little ole nobody like Jerry Jones to take the show date away from DCI at the Alamo Dome a few years back so that the Dallas Cowboys could use the stadium? Good grief! Whether you like Lucas Oil or not, whether you like the stadium in Minnesota or not, Dan, Sue, and all within the DCI front office do a fantastic job with the resources available to them!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Also, this is 2016. How can they not see do scheduling on a computer which would flag them if an event was already on the docket? They probably have a computerized schedule, but only a handful of people have access to it, and whoever logs in all the scheduling requests missed the email from the football team requesting the camp dates.

N.E. Brigand Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) As for DCI announcing the show without having received a contract from U of Minn., the alternative probably would be to not announce the show. And by that I mean: maybe never. Getting an agreement done with from a big state university in a timely manner, even when the financial implications are larger than in this deal, is like pulling teeth, believe me. But you may reasonably wonder: for how many other 2016 events has DCI not yet received a contract? Edited May 1, 2016 by N.E.

One could say that if there was a meeting of the minds and an informal paper trail establishes that said meeting of the minds and intent....a legal covenant was created and moving forth was the expectation. As example, a proposal for marriage with an agreed upon wedding date can be viewed as a covenant, hence if one party breaks that covenant all the while the other party made monetarily preparation, announcements, etc. for the wedding event based off that covenant; the party who broke the covenant would be financially liable to pay the non breaking covenant party for the output of those expenses; plus any other potential damages....including punitive.

Except if none of that is spelled out in the contract, you get nothing and like it. Do we know if there ever was a signed contract in place for this event? Not that it matters at this point. Just curious. And, yes, return to Camp Randall forthwith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
