Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 40719, member: 622"] The only target I can see is ESPN for tortious interference and/or breach of contract in that ESPN told the ACC what to do regarding expansion. As ESPN has a fiduciary relationship with the Big East it may present itself as a breach of contract. Assuming ESPN actually told teh ACC what to do (who to go after) then you may have tortious interference. If there was no relationship with the Big East, then ESPN would not even be on the hook. EX. If FOX or NBC told the ACC what to do, then there would be no violation as there is no relationship. ESPN must be loving DeFillipo right now. I don't see a lawsuit going very far, maybe move a couple bucks to the Big East. Syracuse was very wise in avoiding the last lawsuit and I'm glad it is not an issue for us this time around. [/QUOTE]
