John Skipper former President of ESPN, the guy that did the B!G &SEC deals,

said it in interview about 3 weeks ago. There probably isn't a better source than him on expansion and where the money is for college sports. The ESPN people on the show said he is the mastermind to all of this. So the answer is yes, an incredible source. Thanks for the great question! ** Edited by Stech at 7/27/2022, 7:19:16 PM

You keep selling this, but has there been a single credible peep about it?
