Who needs a lawyer to tell you that signing away your principal asset, giving it $400,000 of free money, total editorial control, and a donor list, while getting nothing in return but the same programming you'd been getting all along is a stupid deal?
The only silver lining is that it might dent the reputation of St Amy a bit.
