And the question I have- is the Big Ten contract like the AAC deal was- where ESPN has the right of first refusal. If that's the case- the Big Ten isn't going anywhere.
It's a no lose situation for us.
If Fox doesn't get the Big Ten, then they'll buy Time Warner or whatever else they need to.
You're thinking too small.
Rupert Murdoch and his sons are ruthless dudes, and they dont think small.
Plus, every recent post of yours has been either dripping with sadness that things are breaking in favor of the Big East, or making ridiculous claims that go against reality... like Baghdad Bob in cyberspace.

That's assuming that Time Warner wants to sell. I don't think that's the case at all.
And no not everything is breaking in favor of the Big East. Did you see the preseason top 25 with exactly 1 top 25 team and 3 teams getting any votes period. That's not in favor of the Big East.

I am guessing that everyone here desperately wants viewers to watch BE basketball just because it is carried on a network that has other shows that people actually watch and care about (like NFL, NBA)

1.2 rating ESPN 11:00 pm #14-Arizona State at Washington
0.70 rating FS1 10:00 pm #20-USC at #19-Utah

Fox Sports to air women's soccer, men's soccer and volleyball championships.
Women's soccer on FS1, men's and volleyball on FS2.
No clue why they wouldn't put the men on FS1...the game is scheduled for a Sunday at 5 PM. Football maybe?
