Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 4737742, member: 3517"] I’ve said this before, but it’s time for Connecticut to stop paying the sham of a network that is ESPN to keep jobs in CT. Part of having your business in a state is being a good corporate citizen and helping the state and citizens of the state your business is located. ESPN has done the exact opposite with their behind the scenes tactics which have left the state school hung out to dry. I’m not sure how much the state of CT has given ESPN directly, but as of 2013 the number was something like $260 million in incentives to stay in CT. I’m sure they’ve gotten plenty of handouts since. Hell, we’d be better off just having the state dump $50 million/year directly into our athletic budget. Let ESPN move their headquarters to Syracuse which is more fitting of their employee base.
