It seems the WWLS is taking the risk of Fox snaring the Big 11 TV contract quite seriously. From DeadSpin there is this internal ESPN memo.
Jim Delany, the Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference will be on the Bristol campus tomorrow and Thursday. It is important for us to show him and his associates that “Bristol is Big Ten Country”.

Building 2 Lobby
Building A Lobby
Building B Lobby
CafeteriaPlease pick one up and wear it tomorrow and Thursday.
