Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 1650000, member: 3609"] Please remember the BTN pricing model isn't about markets its about paying more within the B1G footprint than outside it. It would add all the cable outlets within Va and NC to the higher price scheme. They want us for who we are. Yeah, it sounds awfully egotistical for us to say it, but it's true. They'd want UNC-CHeat primarily for basketball and us for the Olympic Sports and we've been semi-decent in bball lately. Politically, it's a shot across the SEC's bow by entering what previously was their exclusive territory because the ACC has played second fiddle in the South. We're not tied to VPI anymore. We go to the B1G, they go to the SEC and vice versa. Their entry into the ACC has assured them a place at some table. [/QUOTE]
