Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1164327, member: 2524"] I think it's likely Fox wants UConn. Then the question is what does ESPN want. Why should ESPN give money to the B12 to take UConn and UCF, which it now owns 100%, and give them 50% to Fox, helping Fox get East Coast viewers? I can't see ESPN supporting that unless the state of Connecticut and the B12 are somehow able to pressure them. Which in turn raises the question of what the B12 wants. If they want their conference to stick together long-term, I doubt they'd want a larger multi-time-zone non-culturally-linked monstrosity. So why would they push ESPN hard on this? B12 expansion still seems unlikely to me but CR in general has had a lot of surprising twists and turns. [/QUOTE]
