Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 1761474, member: 683"] Here is my thing about ESPN and cost cutting...you swore up and down here there would never be a ACC network because of cost cutting...well a $45 million payment seems to be a LOT cheaper for ESPN than a network like they are starting. But hey that clause was in the ACC's contract...ESPN should have known about it or the ACC shouldn't have invoked it. There is no difference with the B-12 and expansion. At the end of the day the reason ESPN is pissed about the expansion is that there are schools being considered that they pay less than market value for and now the time has come where they may have to pay the piper. You can't tell me using UConn and BC as the comparison that their tv income shouldn't be reversed. [/QUOTE]
