I definitely agree that the Pac-12 is at a huge disadvantage


when it comes to negotiations with the providers. It may even be another reason ESPN would intentionally low ball the Pac-12 during the negotiations for the Pac12N.

I also agree with you about wanting to see the Pac12N succeed. If ESPN did end up with the Pa12N, then I wonder if ESPN could eventually pursue the Big10N? If ESPN did eventually end up with all the power conference networks, then would ESPN be in violation of antitrust laws?
