Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 419996, member: 302"] ...this is not brand new stuff...but it is one of best articles I have read...this BS of most recent Maryland and Rutgers to B1G is about [B]FOX VS. ESPN[/B]....there are few articles or blogs or our own thinking that either Maryland or Rutgers adds anything athletic to BIG...and that is why the ACC was caught with its pants down...who did the B1g take...yuk! Recent purchase of Yes Network by Fox adds the NY market...and 15,000,000 households that can be added to the BTN (Fox shares with B1G)...and this is a l[B]ong range plan...not for today, not for next year...but 10-20 years down the road.[/B] What this all means...it is now [B]ESPN that must "do its thing"...shower the ACC with dollars and/or a strategy for not only survival today but for the next decades ahead...[/B].it is going to be interesting because it just isn't athletics and academics...[B]NOW IT IS $$$$ and media companies playing on academia turf but a game that really isnt collegiate[/B] athletics or for that matter academia...it is for households. Some may think adding Uconn or Louisville or both or Notre Dame and PSU or...[B]BUT WHAT OF TWO CONFERENCES JOINING...WHAT OF ACC GOING BI-COASTAL (Big East perhaps was actually far ahead of others)...stay tuned cause this is going to get worse before it all calms down...[/B] Have fun discussing...but this is not worth mind wrenching at this point because yesterday and today will not even read the tea leaves of what corporate TV wants...(I will keep you updated on what i learn)...but damn, how to give thanks with most of the garbage out there making each day "the sky is falling"--Nostradamus anyone?
