Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 295489, member: 27"] This to me is the single biggest issue for the Big East. They will want their basketball games on ESPN, they will want Big Monday on ESPN retained, they want the Big East Tournament featured in prime time on ESPN, but I don't think ESPN will be willing to give them all that and let them take football to NBC. In the end, the BE might have to choose between a low payday from ESPN, with low exposure for football and relatively high exposure for basketball, and a high payday from NBC, with high exposure there (really high exposure), but total banishment from ESPN. In the end, I think the BE has to go with the money and the risk and hope like hell that NBC can get people to watch BE sports. If they go that way, I will be interested in the length of the contract. It could be a short one. [/QUOTE]
