[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1000651, member: 360"] The problem with what you're saying is that you and I are expressing our opinions on a message board and have zero to lose or gain. When it comes down to shareholders and multi billion $$$ deals, what matters most is profits. That's just the reality of how the business world works. Do you think ESPN or the SEC cared about how big of a jack@ss Texas was to their fellow Big 12 members and Big12 executives? No, because Texas represented a GINORMOUS market and fanbase. That's what FSU represents to FOX and the B1G. You're also assuming FOX and the B1G aren't somehow behind FSU moving forward with their legal challenge. FOX and B1G have ZERO to lose (unless the discovery process digs up communications between FOX/B1G/FSU in which case we enter into tortious interference territory) if FSU fights with the ACC and ESPN, and a big fanbase in a big new market to gain. Most likely several new markets in the only region the B1G isn't in, as several ACC members are most likely going to join FSU in the B1G. You and I may operate with a moral code and might view FSU as a problematic business partner, but FOX and the B1G will have zero issues with FSU considering the amount to gain far outweigh the problems they bring in.
