Why is ESPN against expansion?  Doesn't it get their horrific products into more US households? 

ESPN is under tremendous stockholder pressure because they have paid so much for content over the last several years.  Adding some percentage of $50-100 mil per year isn't good for the bottom line right now, regardless of the value.  Besides, why would ESPN want to pay $25 mil each for AAC schools they already have under contract for about $2mil each?

FYI ESPN and Fox are "purported' to be offering 240 million for the Big 12's Conference Championship game. There's where the rate bump is hidden.

That is just because they heard FedEx is thinking about sponsoring it.

Depends if he's able to resell all his time shares in each B12 city by then.
