Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1086816, member: 622"] It is a hypothetical to show the potential of what could happen, more to the extreme, but a possibility. Realistically, HokieMark is right in that PSU can take their game and leave the BTN for ESPN/ABC, while Michigan can grab the CSB slot, tOSU takes the NBC slot (assuming ND is not on at that time) and UNL is on Fox Sports while the remaining 10 BTN teams are missing out on the income generated from the BTN and these four are raking bigger bucks (not having 10 other mouths to feed & more lucrative deal v. BTN). This in no way harms the elite schools but the Iowas, Wisconsins, Illinois, etc. will be diminished. The point is that if Maryland has their way in the courts, any contract with a State entity is of no real value. Some courts have already determined that as long as the contract is valid otherwise, the State has waived its right to claim sovereignty, as in NC. [/QUOTE]
