exactly...to take it a step further. i see espn shoving some combination of cinci rutgers ul and uconn to the big 12 until they bite. If the exclusive negotiating window starts to close espn will pressure the ACC to take 2 more big east teams at which time the ACC will willingly comply with their master.
espn will do whatever it takes to get the league for dirt cheap or destroy it.
I think ESPN will strong arm BYU into the Big 12 and add Louisville into that league. That is the cheapest way to raid the Big East.
On the other hand, ESPN has no interest in lowballing the Big East, because that only reduces the costs for ESPN's competitor NBC.
