Message: [QUOTE="BUConn10, post: 1851097, member: 5075"] When you view ESPN as a corporate entity it comes off an non-personal, just business as they want it to appear. But when you realize "ESPN" is just a collection of individual people sitting in conference rooms, you can quickly see how it very well could have personal undertones and motives veiled under the plethora of excuses we have heard regarding expansion over the years, or "just business". I mean you are probably right in the grand scheme of things but when you think back to how a few months ago ESPN's chairman or something went on to become the Syracuse AD you become skeptical again. It's like when JP Morgan or something similar hires politicians to nice armchair lobby jobs after serving their short terms. It must have been nice to have someone influential who has your back during all those realignment talks BEFORE it went public, giving your school a head start for the lifeboats. [/QUOTE]
