I've said repeatedly that they didn't vote against expansion. They opposed what was proposed
So am I correct in interpreting your meaning to be that the 3 conferences that voted against expanding the playoff were not opposed to expansion per se, but rather the terms of the expansion?
If that’s the case then what changed between their votes against expansion and now, what is so better about the current deal? I am not saying that they did not have bona fide objections, but the timing and the fact that it was the three alliance conferences makes it suspicious.
Secondly, regardless of their motives, their actions prevented a quicker arrival at an expanded playoff. Intentionally or not, they did screw themselves.

The original proposal gave eSECpn long-term exclusive rights to ALL playoff games. I believe they now have a two year deal for all but the first round games. Everything else will be negotiated more frequently.
Basically, Sankey was trying to lock that shite down, and they said no.

Not really. They should've been #3. Playoff expansion doesn't change that.
