Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1214613, member: 1737"] Here is some hope from Tom Dienhart, senior writer for the BTN: Of course, a grant of rights could be challenged in court. If there is one thing leagues and universities have a lot of, it’s lawyers to help them get what they want. And, if I have learned one thing in life, it’s that if someone or something REALLY wants to do something, it will find a way to do it—legal agreements or no legal agreements. The Big Ten, SEC and Pac-12 aren’t in danger of losing schools. The Big 12 may have some vulnerability. The ACC? It’s primed for poaching in an ever-changing conference landscape. It’s all about increasing your TV footprint. And leagues with strong football programs and strong football histories largely are calling the shots. That’s bad news for the ACC, traditionally a basketball league with weak football. Will this ACC rights agreement really protect it—or any other league? Stay tuned. But, again, know this: What the big boys in life want, the big boys in life usually get—no matter what it says on some legal documents. - See more at: [url]http://btn.com/2013/04/22/dienhart-accs-grant-of-rights-deal-could-halt-realignment/#sthash.TyV0xGIZ.dpuf[/url] [/QUOTE]
