There was unlikely to be a better bidder, particularly on cable. That's why Aresco was touting alternative broadcast partners like Amazon. Plus if we learned nothing from the evisceration of the Big East we learned that you don't F with ESPN. They are the Don Corleone of broadcast partners.there was never going to be another bidder.
hopefully the deal is good - but it was always going to be espn.
there isnt even a second company to float.
I'm curious to see the terms. If they cement our "P6" position, being I'll be happy. Of course the further they are from the next highest paid G5 league the happier I will be. Wouldn't mind the opportunity to sell our Tier 3 rights. We are one of the few American teams (only one?) that can get value for that.
