Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3249788, member: 44"] Hank I'm not at all confident that the state did a cost benefit analysis before granting that break. Maybe they did, I have a healthy skepticism though. ESPN's infrastructure investment makes it very, very unlikely that they'd move in the near future. Some tax breaks at location related (like the NYC enterprise zones) some are case by case. The case by case ones often consider the "citizenship" of the candidate. ESPN's evisceration of the Big East cost Connecticut taxpayers 100's of millions of dollars and the price tag goes up every year. It would have cost ESPN nothing to say to ACC we prefer Connecticut. They didn't. That's something that the legislature should keep in mind if they ever come asking for another break. [/QUOTE]
