Message: [QUOTE="DGB, post: 5066480, member: 1287"] and then... ...some UConn bball games are offered to Fox in the negotiation to get them to pony up some money to the conference. Then both Fox and ESPN get some UConn bball content as opposed to just Fox (as it is now with the BE) or just ESPN (if Fox doesn't contribute to UConn in the Big 12). This could be the negotiation stage we are at, and it's a pretty good bet that the Big 12 hold out votes are being coached by Fox to hold this up. If ESPN [I][B]and[/B][/I] Fox are both made happy, the no votes will disappear, and every Big 12 president will sing the praises of bball, NYC, Danny Hurley, and Dairy Bar ice cream. It should be a surprise to nobody that we are also starting to see some positive ACC articles/tweets with regards to UConn, as this is the other way ESPN can posture its ability to take UConn away from Fox entirely.
