1/6th the price ESPN offerred two years ago and netting schools less than current deal.
Wonder if this deal has any impact on whether the BE7 want the BE name now (i.e., is there a chance we wouldn't want the BE name because we would be stuck with a crappy contract... meaning they consider the departing BE7 to actually be the surviving entity and, thus, have to live-up to this contract). I doubt it, but have seen stranger things happen contractually.
