The best reason I can think of not to put the 'Pot on
        Ch.68 is to use the exampele of what the NHL did
        in 1989 when they moved their national coverage from
        ES_PN to SportsChannell America. SCA offered more money
        for the package, but had far less viewership. Four years
        later the NHL went crawling back to ESPN. It's a bad idea.
        Granted it's only two games onaxx on a much smaller scale,
        but the overall goal should be coverage to the lagrgest viewrxx
        viewership-- that brings in higer advertising revenues which
        would easily outpace any increase in rights fees WABU could offer.
 
        The X factor of course is BU's ownership of Ch.68. Obviously 68 has
        BU's vote. It's a matter of convincing NU, BC, and Harvard. Considering
        the three are about to get blown out of the water on local season coverage,
        going along with BU will be a tough sell.
