Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5371235, member: 1145"] KEY points: ESPN indeed over paid the Big 12 to keep it together, conveniently until the SEC could persuade Texas and OIU to join, and so never be left to join the BT (and be on Fox). ESPN then refused to offer nay help to the Pac, which left is with its neck tied to a railroad track. There ewer reports that the ACC offered to take 6 Pac schools, and that ESPN refused to fund that. And that move then meant that the BT got Oregon and Washington. Why would ESPN prefer to have the value of Oregon and Washington on Fox rather than on ESPN in the ACC? And at the same time riddle us how come ESPN has been loathe to do anything to calm ACC waters?
