[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 906188, member: 2426"] Maybe. ESPN is in decline at the moment. There have been talks (only outsiders as far as we know) about Disney splitting off ESPN as a separate company. ESPN has been downsizing and getting rid of expensive talent. I don't know that their perceived power in sports is actually true now. Also, there is no way that they would do something to open up the South to the Big10. ESPN walked away from the Big10 broadcast rights because they either couldn't afford it or thought they couldn't get a profit at that price. Going forward, I think that ESPN will do everything they can to make everyone except for the Big10 attractive. There is no commercial reason for them to prop up the Big10. My impression is that they don't do sports objectively. They try to push for whatever makes ESPN the most money, whether it is truthful or not. Giving the Big10 access to Atlanta, Florida, or North Carolina does not help ESPN. [/QUOTE]
