Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 4357230, member: 6819"] That doesn't mean that the SEC hasn't been in serious discussions these last few weeks as to whether booting Vandy is viable. That would leave a nice open space for markets that ESPN really wants in the fold such as Oklahoma (State) and West Virginia (the DC market). But in reality booting schools is bad business, sets a bad precedence and is a bad example for every college in the conference, newly accepted colleges, and colleges in other conferences. Don't expect it to happen before or after the new contract. Make no mistake though, ESPN wants that DC market, and it's going to get it for that new contract. ESPN lost 25 million subscriptions the last few years and they're going to be looking for some way to add viewers. [/QUOTE]
