Ironically, due to a “morals” clause in the contractual obligations the entire family may HAVE to continue to do the show, lest they suffer serious financial impacts and legal proceedings that may involve the network having control over the “Duck Dynasty” title, and other commercial marketing material, and keep the family from profitting on those goods and services due to those contractual agreements...
The devil is ALWAYS in the fine print...
I bet this does not turn out very well for the family...
They could reformat to another title, though. They would not be Duck Dynasty any more. It could be something like Godly Family Robinson (just the thought of a few seconds).

Stevie, the family was already financially successful before A&E came calling. After two years of what amounts to free advertising, I'm sure their business is doing record breaking business.
I honestly don't think they'd have a problem standing on their principles and loyalty to the patriarch of their family in this situation. I think they'll walk away together if A&E stands their ground.
