OMG, the arrogance of the wording is beyond professionalism.
And so it begins. Buckle up folks it’s about to get weird.
The comment that the information he gave is vague is crazy. Do you really think he is going to name any names in public rather than in a court type of setting. It would seem like a very bad legal move to name them in public.
After contemplating that response, it's almost as if they're trying to antagonize him to the point of divulging information. In no other way could I interpret that kind of childish response.
They believe Bob is bluffing. Just like in poker when you have nothing, but want that sweet pot reward. They are calling him out to show his hand.
Did anyone actually expect ESPN to respond in some other fashion? “OMG we’re sorry we totally ****** up; we’ll leave the Big 12 alone now and go sit in our corner until time out is over”? Nope - this was only ever going to be “business as usual” for them.
Dear Burke,
It's on like Donkey Kong.
Sincerely,
Bob

They said they did nothing wrong. I guess that settles it.
Apparently backroom deals to screw others over is Standard Operating Procedure at ESPN/Disney.

probably because he is bluffing. Now don't get me wrong, he's probably right in terms of what happened. I just doubt he has "the nuts" so to speak to further the gambling analogy.
That is about exactly how I would expect ESPN (their lawyers) to respond. If you're accused of wrongdoing, you deny everything publicly until forced to do otherwise. There is no swearing in required to write a press release or perjury charges for making false statements. I'm sure ESPN has a competent legal team and they won't hang themselves by admitting anything nefarious. You'll probably have to wait until facts come out in a courtroom unless things leak out through unofficial channels.
Yeah, you might as well place "in our opinion" right after "we have engaged in no wrongful conduct"
