Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 40183, member: 652"] The ACC won't be sued or wouldn't be the primary party to the lawsuit they maybe a co-defendant to generate more scheduling between the conferences. However, I highly doubt the Big East would go after the ACC because as you said a business can poach another businesses members, but ESPN is suppose to be a television partner of the Big East Conference. As partners the Big East is entitled loyalty, good faith, and fair dealing. If the Big East can show that ESPN violated its duties to one partner for the benefit of another it would be open themselves to litigation. As I just said though, ESPN maybe interested in any contact the Big East may have had with Comcast or Fox through back channel communications so the Big East may not want to go after ESPN if they violated their agreement with ESPN.
