I think it’s a money grab too, but I think ESPN and Fox are going to come back with a counter offer instead of paying 100 million a year for four G5 teams. This counter offer will knock out the need for expansion candidates, the question is how many? I figure at least 2, maybe all 4.
Or, ESPN and Fox are going to tie this up in litigation by taking the stance that they never intended to be held hostage by Big 12 threatening to add the likes of CSU when the intent of the contract was to make allowances for additions of programs like FSU and Clemson.
