That tells me ESPN didn't want to do it, IMHO they knew the B1G wasn't goin

to stop coming with the big money for some PAC teams. 30 million was polite, but no way that was going to hold that conference together and they knew it. I think we end up with 2 tier 1 Conferences with 24 in each and I think we end up with 1 tier 2 conference with probably the same 24, The one thing all three conferences will have in common is that they are Football first conferences. Why? For the same reason Willie Sutton robbed the banks, "that's where the money is!" :-)
