Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 417031, member: 338"] The old contract required that there be a change of membership of 2 teams, right? That was why ESPN advised the ACC to take Syracuse and one other, supposedly UConn at first. What is the analogous provision in the new contract? Does ND as a partial member count as one change, and Maryland the second? That is still a net positive. What confuses me about the Big 10's moves is that there has to a lot of additional revenue from adding 2 schools in order to break even on the deal. Is the B10 network that much of a cash cow? Are there enough TV sets in NJ and Maryland to feed those hungry rust belt mouths? [/QUOTE]
