It is extremely clear that the MAC commissioner came out and said that he has not agreed to a deal and that he has a vote. I am not disputing that. Dellenger is not disputing that. Nobody is.

All Dellenger is reporting is the MAC commissioner’s posturing. He’s trying to negotiate with the CFP and the conferences that actually matter who have come to an agreement with ESPN. He’s saying hey, wait a minute, I have a say. That’s what’s going on, maybe I can get something in exchange for this yes vote,

Where this went astray is your initial post here where you assumed something else and that the ESPN deal must be fake news or a leak to increase other bidders. That’s not what’s happening.
