I sees that, but the thing is, states aren't commercial enterprises.  Florida has over 22 million people who didn't vote for anyone at FSU, the ACC, or espn.  Yet they are affected by all of these agreements.

That's a fair argument.  The answer is don't do it if you don't want to do it.  The reason they will enter into agreements is profit.  Creating a business relationship with a state is a huge money maker but you shouldn't be able to hold the state residents hostage when the terms of the contract become egregiously unfavorable to one side.

You have a contract with a business and if the business starts suffering, you would rather adjust the contract than have the business go bankrupt.

You have a contract with a state and if the state starts suffering you just expect to fleece the state because it can simply raise taxes.  In this case it's as if espn wants the ACC to be 2nd tier and there is something very wrong with that tactic.
