So if the Big East adds another school in addition to TCU...

..will it be able to renegotiate its ESPN contract? (Darth) Swofford said that with the addition of Syracuse and Pitt, the ACC would be able to renegotiate its TV deal. So with the addition of TCU and [insert school name that is not East Carolina here] should we be free to do the same?

Amended question: So, if TCU continues to align itself with the remaining BE football schools will the latter be able to renegotiate its ESPN contract?

They will most likely do this with the remaining Big 12 schools after the merger. Then the hoops schools can deal with ESPN unless they come knocking first telling hoops schools they are getting less money because of an inferior product.
