[QUOTE="BABYFACE, post: 705498, member: 159"] Bull. ESPN paid for the broadcast rights and have them for 4 years. ESPN cannot with hold the money or cancel the contract with any of the BCS bowls. They can make their wishes known but the BCS bowls know that each time the TV broadcast rights contract is up there have been multiple bidders. Because of this ESPN cannot blackmail. The party that can excert their influence is the bowl sponsors. ESPN is reaching and grasping at straws. The cartel will not publicly expose itself this foolishly and use rule 5 D. Since it was let known that TCU would be no worst than the Rose Bowl across the media on Saturday, if they reneged, the BCS will either implode or be brought down and ESPN will be holding 3 more years of broadcast rights for the BCS which will no longer exist. IMO, Enacting Rule 5 D would be suicide. [/QUOTE]
