Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 1383645, member: 44"] What I like about this rumor is that the notion that there is identical ownership in the broadcast rights before and after the move. This will test the argument that GORs have less (no?) teeth, at least in terms of locking a school into a specific contract, if the schools rights continue to be broadcast by the same entity. I know it isn't Rule #1 but I can see that scenario opening the floodgates, which would benefit UConn (knock wood, we're doomed, etc.) FWIW, what I think ESPN gets out of this is they consolidate their valuable properties, in this case in the B1G. It will be part of the premium that B1G will get in any event, and it positions them to "Big East" the Big 12 with a take or leave it offer down the road. [/QUOTE]
