California Firm Ordered To Pay Damages over HBCU Football Broadcasting Contract Dispute: A California sports broadcast promotion company and its owner must pay HBCU Pro Football about $3.5 million for intentional misrepresentation and breach of contract, a federal judge in Baltimore has ruled.
Last month, U.S. District Judge William Quarles Jr. ordered New Vision Sports Properties and Victor Pelt to pay compensatory and punitive damages for their misconduct in purportedly trying to arrange for the broadcast of several high-profile HBCU games on the CBS College Sports Network (CSTV) in 2008.
It appears uncertain whether New Vision and Pelt will comply with Quarles’ June 10 default order because they and their lawyers did not appear in court. Also, California Secretary of State records show that New Vision’s business registration has been suspended.
