Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 27268, member: 652"] First off, look where you are getting this from. The RU board who are only 1 more round of expansion away from becoming Temple of course they are going to believe this garbage. If the Big East had an idea NBC was going to pay them X dollars they would be in violation of their own K with ESPN. Who has till an exclusive window September 2012 to negoitate with the Big East Conference. Secondly, look at the source Boomer Esiason's previous employer prior CBS and CBS radio? Thats right ABC and Disney who happens to be the parent company of ESPN. Boomer was fired after 2 years with Disney because of his feud with Al Michaels I doubt Boomer thinks highly of ESPN and would like nothing more than to take shots. Also, who is he targeting with these comments RU fans worried about being left out in the cold in the expansion process and gets phone calls on the issue. The Big East would never be able to win an anti-trust lawsuit or tortious interference lawsuit against ESPN without proving damages. The Big East will not be able to prove ESPN said ACC destroy the Big East (because all RU fans and Big East fanshave been saying is Syracuse is worthless and brings nothing to the conference) because changing conferences is not illegal and all SU and Pitt would have to say is they VOLUNTARILY decided to the leave the Big East and poof the Big East is up a creek. Also, because their are no public entitties involved except the University of Pittsburgh Freedom of Information Act requests or Sunshine Law requests will not be available until a lawsuit was filed and discovery went through, and don't think the Big East hasn't had some contact with other television networks or they wouldn't have declined the 9 yr- 1 Billion dollar offer from ESPN.
