[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129568411, member: 1428007"] You have serious issues. On the one hand you have 0 proof or even the remotest evidence that anyone has put in an FOI request searching for a grant of rights from the SEC. On the other you try to attack me because I stated accurately no one from message boards to bloggers to anywhere else has ever A: shown any interest whatsoever in an SEC grant of rights possibility- instead just going along with the "they don't need one" line, and B: Never demonstrated in any way that someone has actually checked to see if that is accurate. You cannot say they have one or don't, you can only repeat what someone that hasn't actually checked stated. As I stated - and there is nothing out of line in the questioning whatsoever, it would be surprising for a major entity like ESPN to turn over so much of their operation to one conference, and to guarantee that conference extremely lucrative revenues long term--all without any sort of guarantee that the product would remain as is during the duration. GORs have been used everywhere else to provide that. Until anyone actually checks on the sketchy details of the last SEC contracts no one can claim they absolutely do not have one. Only that it's believed they don't with no evidence supporting or contradicting. [/QUOTE]
