Message: [QUOTE="Stretch374, post: 209813, member: 22859"] My understanding is that the AMA has just singed a letter of intent with Jam sports to be there new promoter. I'm not a lawyer but I hope they can still get out of this if things don't start to develop for the AMA in 2003. Ultimately I think this will come down to who has the better TV package. Venues are important but 50,000 people at an event doesn't compare to the exposer that the sponsors get when the races are nationally televised on a major network. CC has already announced there TV package for 2003, it will be the same as 2002. (3 or 4 races on ABC the rest on ESPN) Can you say "women's softball". If the AMA and JAM can get a deal where FOX shows 9 or 10 races and the rest on Speed Vision witch they just acquired then it will be a tough decision for the teams. The teams will go where it's best for there sponsors. [/QUOTE]
