[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/bc_frogs']@bc_frogs[/URL] I have to believe it's a maneuver by Texas.

No rush. Let B1G start ACC raid.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/85bevo']@85bevo[/URL] Time to work it out. Reports are that ESPN will decline ACCN.

Texas doesn't benefit from a B12N that only matches their current deal. Bet they'll leverage this into a profit.
