[QUOTE="Delmonico, post: 807981, member: 27"] I doubt the Big 6 conferences - all of whom have either primary or secondary agreements with ESPN - care much about this. They all know that exclusive negotiating periods and right of 1st refusal are usually SOP in these deals, and on the surface that's what's at the heart of this skirmish - whether those were honored. What its really all about is everybody knows ESPN's primary interest in CUSA is the midweek games and doing what they can to hold onto them, as well as keeping them away from Fox (a potential threat). I give credit to CUSA, though, for standing up to ESPN and going their own way (ironically, something their fans mocked the MWC for doing a few years back in a deal with many similiarities). [/QUOTE]
