Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2773496, member: 271"] I 100% agree with Whaler here. There has to be more bidders or we are in trouble. My hope is that Aresco is confident because: 1. Through his many media contacts, he knows he has more bidders and he’s played this perfectly. Or 2. ESPN has told him, they want to invest in the conference with a livable wage and put more focus on it. The Amercan can’t grow without money to keep coaches and build infrastructure. Both of these are long shots but Aresco does have media contacts and the American has been good for ESPN, so it is possible that he’s been playing chess while we were playing checkers. However, this is when we refer to Fishy’s rule above and remember, CR always leaves us disappointed. A good contract would be our first pleasant surprise. [/QUOTE]
