Message: [QUOTE="RedRabbit84, post: 5081587, member: 13638"] The P2 are just as much slaves to the media as anyone else. Why would ESPN pay schools they already have in their portfolio more just to relocate them to a different conference? Why waste their investment into the ACCN? The answer is, they wouldn't. At least, not for the sake of doing so alone, anyhow. Sure you could say they're trimming fat, making it worth the extra to the schools, but that's flushing a LOT of money died the drain with the ACCN that stands to make more in more markets. Speaking of which; there's new markets in the BigXII they could add cheaply, and the BigXII has overplayed their hand by openly pursuing investors and such. No network and desperate for cash.... Doesn't sound like a happy home. I know the thing around here is to hope for the ACC to die, but the reality is every time you guys predict their demise, they find a way to stay together instead. This won't be different. And again, I've no idea how this would or wouldn't benefit UConn. I could see a world where UConn is added along with a few BigXII schools to appease the basketball first schools. Louisville, Duke, UNC, Kansas, UConn in a conference together? With a network? Sounds worth money to me. [/QUOTE]
