Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4738522, member: 1559"] Think about this. ESPN is going to pay the ACC another $70 million +/- for SMU, Cal, and Stanford. These schools are not additive, with the possible exception of adding to the cable bundled ACC Network in the short run. ESPN has enough inventory already from SEC/ACC/Big 12/AAC. This is a terrible business deal for ESPN. For example, BC football had 2 games on an ESPN network last year, Clemson on ABC and Duke on ESPN2. The rest were on ACCN or RSN. BC men's basketball had 4 ACC games on an ESPN network, 3 on ESPNU and 1 on ESPN2. How is BC worth $25 million per year in ESPN money? Why will SMU/Cal/Stanford be any different? [/QUOTE]
