[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 131739434, member: 1606648"] No…. Think business The most important investment is obviously the one you threw money at So for ESPN it is SEC ACC is their worst investment. They don’t want to put anymore money into that conference than they have to. Because the reasoning for their investment doesn’t change by adding more schools. The reasoning for those schools is to keep them out of the B1G There is no threat from the B1G with WVU so they have no leverage with ESPN But the conferences that can get ratings near the ACC with 1/2 the investment is the goldmine….. This is why as of today it is the best option for some schools. Look at what ESPN did for BYU last year. The reason why BYU became a household name last year 1) Pandemic took away a lot of content 2) ESPN pays pennies on the dollar to BYU but BYU was bringing in solid ratings So with something like that ESPN will be more likely to invest in.
