    Does this statement prove they had nothing to do with it? Or does it show that ESPN execs believed after the first contract extension offer was refused they stood a good chance of losing the property? Thereafter the BE was looked at as a competitor to their primary affiliated conference and a strategy of retribution began, not entirely sure of the outcome but hoping to weaken the BE into some type of submission.

    Given the BE is clinging to life right now while ESPN is literally driving the bus makes me think ESPN has had a hand in the BE's current position.

    After every realignment, the BE seems to lose a school or two and the other conference seems to re-work their deal with ESPN. Hmmmm...

    Apparently ESPN is a big fan of wealth re-distribution...

    Yep, big difference between what was said and what is implied, that's a hallmark of a spin attempt.
