Message: [QUOTE="06029, post: 1764422, member: 1548"] ESPN has data and revenue projections to every team and what they add to every conference and they present to the conferences that make the decision. Are people suggesting they cook the numbers in Uconn's favor? I am sure Disney shareholders and the Disney board would love that. If you bother to do the math and the economic benefit of ESPNs tax breaks and the total jobs and incremental effect on only Central CT it is huge. If you want to blame ESPN then start blaming NBC Sports that got tax break to be in Stamford. Or how about any of the other tax break companies under Malloy that could have been used to bribe ESPN. Especially the hedge funds. This board has become one big circle jerk. UConn is the only option. Every other school is dogs hit. How can people not see how clearly superior Uconn is? Dissension is not permitted. If Uconn is passed over blame ESPN, the AD, the prez, Obama, Trump, FedEx. There clearly are negatives on Uconn for the Big 12, the ACC an the B1G just like every other school in the mix. At the end of the day, it is the schools that decide and their logic and rationale may be lost by every fan of the schools that don't get in. If TX and OU thinks Storrs sucks, don't blame ESPN. Blame TX and OU. [/QUOTE]
