[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129603731, member: 1428007"] What don't you get? The Big Ten bought back rights. FOX is half owner of the BTN and couldn't have created the channel without those rights. the SEC bought back rights. ESPN FULLY owns That channel and couldn't have created it without those rights n he added inventory from expansion. the PAC is STILL buying rights back. Without those rights and added inventory from expansion- no network. Yet you claim, with 0 supporting evidence that ESPN owns all ACC rights that they bought once- and are going to pay the ACC MORE -or better word- AGAIN for those same rights with NO concessions? You are mistaken. First they had the ACC extend their contract through 2036. Second, they had the schools extend the grant of rights. ESPN is going to get reimbursed for the rights they buy back one way or another, otherwise again- what incentive do they have to increase the ACCs revenues? You talk about a questionable imaginary speculative number the ACC will get- but what you leave out is what will ESPN is going to get from this. You pretend they are doing it for free and it's not the way they've ever done business. Probably they'll take a higher percentage for years until the debt is paid off-- some articles about the SEC network reference that the SEC is paid from the profits- after expenses-- and in this case part of the expenses will be obtaining rights back from Raycom.
