Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 5287545, member: 3850"] Hamilton isn't wrong...although he is a Charleston based writer tagged as a "Coot" by Clemson fans (a Coot is a Gamecock fan). Anybody that is a fan of college football saw the marriage of ESPN to the SEC was creating this future. Exclusive airing rights, primary product, TV talking heads that tout the product "owned by the ESPN". it isn't just the SEC. It is the union of a network with what they acknowlege is a primary product. Having networks televising games of certain conferences as a primary product while also having sports news/talk shows that hype the network's holdings has led us to where we are. A business will promote it's wares over those of another company. The ACC, and maybe the PAC, and B12, have to have seen where this would lead. I know that the FSU BOT did years ago but was told that, until 2036, they had to just quietly toe the line. Until FSU and Clemson decided to do a Butch and Sundance...jump together off the cliff into the river yelling "yehaw". Dead if you don't...maybe dead if you do...yehaw ! [/QUOTE]
