This smells like sour grapes on the part of ESPN, who pretty much has a monopoly on college sports.

Behind the scenes of college football is quickly becoming a true soap opera.

Here is the Argument.

ESPN: Look judge we gave CUSA money, but they didn't make us enough money in return, in fact we lost money. Therefore we are going to "in a forceable manner" make CUSA renegotiate the contract so we can pay less.

CUSA: Look Judge it is not our fault ESPN lost money, if they had given us more media time to CUSA we may have been able to get more viewers to follow our winning teams such as Central Florida or Tulsa. Instead ESPN choose to show Rice, Houston, and SMU games because of the area. However, they are all located in one general area. Therefore, if Texas is not following CUSA how can ESPN make more money.

Judges response: Look guys the Fiesta Bowl committee is meeting to determine how many call girls are needed to be purchased for nest years bowl. So we need to wrap this up.
