Yeah, I know it costs money and that it's not going to happen, especially with how EA is struggling at the moment and their fetish for exclusive contracts. ESPN wouldn't want to share billing with anyone else either (Worldwide Leader and all). It's just going to appear a little dated being exclusively ESPN in the years to come, with other networks getting in on the sport.
