What's this?

I understand, but I see the little 8 fighting to the bitter end

I don't see them bending on the GOR and I'm not so sure that expansion is the answer for the little 8 either - in the short run or long run.

The networks are going to fight tooth and nail to pay up full shares for Houston & Cincy. I can see the little 8 bluffing about expansion and settling for a couple million $$ each extra per yr from Fox et al, to not expand -- and to try to keep UT & OU on a leash as long as possible to buy time and hope for a miracle.

Watch the GOR, that's the story here. -- Stech 09/19/2016 11:27PM

Agree, but adding 2 teams won't make it easier for UT & OU to go bye -- marcbvtgm 09/20/2016 4:48PM

They will use the desire for expansion from others to lossen the GOR. -- Stech 09/20/2016 8:19PM
