[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2833051, member: 72863"] FIFY ESPN wouldn't control anything if the conferences and schools weren't willing to sell that control to them. ESPN is trying to make money like any business out there, they are not the root of whatever "problems" are there are or whatever bad path we are going down. All the conferences would have to do is put their foot down and say this is what we're doing and this is how we're doing it, now how much do you want to pay to show our games on TV? Instead they are laser focused on the bottom line ($$) which drives almost every decision they make. How else can you explain how Rutgers ended up in the same league as Nebraska and West Virginia ended up in the same league as Texas Tech. I didn't follow the business side of college sports back in the 80's and 90's but I never remember hearing anything about rights fees and each conference member's annual take. Nobody seemed to care, now it's front page news whenever a league announces how much money they make. What sports fan really cares about that? [/QUOTE]
