Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 1503499, member: 38"] The most likely result of additional expansion is the termination of our current contract. There's no reason for ESPN not to blow it up - they would have all the leverage in putting something cheaper with less exposure requirements back together. The idea that ESPN would cut a side-deal with UConn doesn't make a lot of sense for them and it probably wouldn't pass muster with our partners...the other members of the American. We're not an independent and cannot act as one. Maybe we have enough sway in that shamble of a conference to part out the third tier, but I would advise not to expect a silver lining should the Big 12 expand without us. It's probably the last expansion move for the next decade. [/QUOTE]
