Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5370873, member: 405"] orange79 is agreeing with me that it is to their financial advantage (profit) to continue to underpay the ACC. Yes, they don't want it to die [I]completely[/I], but they don't want to have to pay them as much as they pay the SEC. That's indisputable, or they would have helped the ACC in the past, like they helped save the Big 12 (but did not help save the Pac-12). The evidence is out there that they manipulate conferences to ESPN's financial advantage. With player unions and pay scales coming, ESPN wants conference consolidation. Fewer parties to negotiate with. [/QUOTE]
