ESPN/MWC Conference Agreement - anyone know financials?

[Niv Berkowitz]

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.

[Mr. Nielsen]

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.....
