Minimally we should get breach of contract against Pitt and Cuse for the LAST time Espn screwed us over #jussayin

This times 1k! How in the world did no other ESPN competitor not run with this story when it happened? ESPN literally told the ACC who to poach and when.

ESPN cares as much as about this round of conflict of interest as they did last time. Which is somewhere around how much I care about whether One Direction is getting back together.

This is basically the same issue with ESPN pushing for Pitt entry into the ACC during the Big East negotiations. They (ESPN and Pitt) played both sides of the game at the same time.

Could the 11 schools that wasted their time on this disaster get together and sue ESPN and the B12? 

For what? Neither ESPN nor the B12 owed any duty to any of the schools that applied with regard to B12 expansion.

Not the same at all. In the Pitt case they arguably owed a duty to its fellow conference mates to lead the negotiations for the benefit of all the member schools. What duty did ESPN or the B12 owe to the applicants?

I wont even look scores up on ESPN.  MSN has all the coverage I need and as silly as it probably is, I'm never typing those 4 letters into my browser again.

 Also getting on ESPNs bad side isnt a wise financial move.

As was said when newspapers were more relevant, "Don't' insult somebody who buys ink by the ton."
