Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5062379, member: 44"] Fully agree that the school presidents opted in what they thought was in their best interest, just like addicts opt in to get their next high. But it is indisputable that ESPN has been a, if not, the prime mover in the conference realignment that we all despise. That they did so in a manner that cost Connecticut taxpayers literally hundreds of millions of dollars, should never be forgotten. Had they decided not to screw over the university in the state that they occupy, the university whose sports were actually the central part of their original business plan, we would not be on the outside, looking in right now and what was indisputably far away the best basketball conference in the country would still be in existence. Isn't "follow the money" a core principal in investigative journalism? If it was good enough for Woodward and Bernstein, it ought to be good enough for us. [/QUOTE]
