Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5144383, member: 1145"] The obvious that you miss here is that ESPN losses nothing if FSU, Clemson, UNC etc. were to be moved to the SEC. They would all still be exclusive to ESPN. ESPN has done nothing to stop any of this. I think that ESPN, perhaps led by Sankey and the SEC being persuasive, assumed that ESPN would keep all the most valuable ACC members by the SEC taking them. And what they have discovered is that things are not like that at all. Not even for FSU. FSU has caught the ACC bug about improved academic stature, and all kinds of people with power at FSU would take BT over SEC for that reason. So now we have ESPN having to face such things knowing that ESON has been playing hardball against the ACC in the name of cost cutting which has led to all this mess that could mean gutting of the ACC. Just stupid all around by ESPN. [/QUOTE]
