Delany didn't stop and Fox came as a partner [URL='https://twitter.com/Bluevodreal'][B]Bluevod[/B] ‏@Bluevodreal [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/Bluevodreal/status/719154991097884672']10h10 hours ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/CGreen63']@CGreen63[/URL] a lot has changed since then. ESPN does not want to partner on a conference network they WANT and NEED it on their channels.

They have to have content on their Net.

They have to have College football content or they have nothing.

Would be a devastating blow to lose B1G [URL='https://twitter.com/Genetics56'][B]Genetics56[/B] ‏@Genetics56 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/Genetics56/status/719167142474747904']9h9 hours ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/Bluevodreal']@Bluevodreal[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/CGreen63']@CGreen63[/URL] If NBC gets B1G, major shift in football viewership away from ESPN by millions of TV sets.

See why adding teams in Expansion makes sense? 1 contract not two.
