re: Report: SEC, Big Ten Don't Have 'Much Desire' to Add FSU, Clemson, Other ACC Schools

SEC and Big 10 will put stuff out in the press like this every single day until the day they in fact do add new schools.

They want everyone to know that they are in fact not tortuously interfering in anyone’s conference contracts, they would never ever ever think of poaching a school from another conference. Innocence in appearance will have to do where innocence in fact likely doesn’t exist …

Of course, it’s all moot anyway, ACC schools have a grant of rights that no one has figured a plausible way out of yet. ESPN would rather not pay more for these schools vs the locked in ACC rate, and Fox probably sees diminishing returns now that the B10 stretches across 3 corners of the country.
