Curious if the MWC/ESPN deal is worth more/less than what the Big Least/CUSA 2.0 is getting. Terms weren't disclosed in this announcement.

The CBS/ESPN together is about 18 million per year.
I saw that the old BE deal is worth slightly more than the MWC deal (old BE is $20mil)
I also recently saw that there is an opt out/modification clause if either of the following scenarios happen
1) Two teams from group A leave (UCONN, Cincy, Temple, Houston)
2) One team from group A and one from group B leave (group B is everybody else)

Yep. ESPN is apparently using the same template they used for their ACC contract.....
