Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5087734, member: 622"] I have read reports that ESPN is only going to pro rata compensate for teams that bring enough revenue to make it cost effective (my paraphrase). If this is true, then none of the Big 12 teams bring sufficient revenue for anticipated ACC payouts. Ponder that for a moment: the Big 12 is likely being overcompensated at this moment and is not expected to increase equally with the ACC. Just my thoughts process,not a verified fact . P.S. if Utah is a big enough draw (I am not convinced as Utah is a relatively recently successful program but lacks a long history and is in a smallish population state that nobody outside Utah follows) they may get an invite. The denial may be only for factual purposes, the deal is not yet closed. I am not convinced this is so, but follows the pattern of denial until the it is fact (e.g. the ink is dry on the contracts).
