[QUOTE="CEB, post: 1007342, member: 4905"] :LOL::LOL::LOL: Wow… you went out of your way to put a really rosy opposite extreme in my mouth! “Well meaning” and “watching from the outside…” far from it. ESPN and Fox have certainly been in lockstep through it all… and there is no doubt that the conferences and schools “shopped” all of these moves before making them… but ESPN/ Fox didn’t make the moves. The schools and the conferences did. They certainly did so with assurances from ESPN that it would be lucrative… so in that sense, ESPN could’ve stopped it by saying “no more money.” But if the deal is lucrative, what interest would espn have in blocking it? ESPN has no interest in who ends up where, as long as they make money. It’s not ESPN’s job to preserve the history or sanctity of college athletics (if any sanctity exists). The schools have been exploiting it for profit for years and the schools are still driving that bus… ESPN just realized they can get in on it and the conferences found a very useful and lucrative revenue vehicle in these media deals.
