Maybe you ought to contact ESPN directly and ask them.

Perhaps they will give you a straight answer. However, they really don’t have to respond or provide any details to the public, right, wrong or otherwise. You could ask Jim Phillips and his band of minions, though.

Bally doesn't sublease

The article stated that the NBA and NHL were subleased, but the baseball
Big12 guy • 08/22/24 06:47 PM ET
Most national contracts would have a sublease provision
hokieninsurance • 08/22/24 10:24 AM ET
Where you lose me, is that you are sure the ACC had to consent. You are
Big12 guy • 08/22/24 10:41 AM ET
That’s a very interesting theory, and the kind of well thought out option👏
Stech • 08/21/24 02:00 PM ET
Ill even give you some circumstantial proofs
hokieninsurance • 08/21/24 08:14 PM ET
Agree. This is a very interesting take on what may be happening behind
RJHokie • 08/21/24 04:19 PM ET
What value would there be refuting them or agreeing to an extension now?
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/24 10:05 AM ET
Small nit to pick. UNC is the most valuable property in the ACC.**

I don’t expect them to discuss any details, but just not saying we have a
Stech • 08/21/24 10:11 AM ET
Why should they? What happens with FSU and Clemson and maybe
VTCALS72 • 08/21/24 07:30 AM ET
Because discussions and negotiations always take place in private.
wwhokie1 • 08/20/24 11:19 PM ET
But is it a negotiation? I thought ESPN was just deciding whether to pick
HokieNoVA • 08/21/24 09:44 AM ET
Phillips announced during media days that he was in negotiations with ESPN.**
Big12 guy • 08/21/24 10:01 AM ET
Of course one guys negotiations is another man's supplying all talking pts.**

I was negotiating yesterday and today, with no details, but I let people
Stech • 08/21/24 01:02 AM ET
Jim Phillips has made the kind of statements you reference**
wwhokie1 • 08/21/24 02:13 PM ET
Okay I remember one, but one and done is not going to cut it.**
Stech • 08/21/24 03:26 PM ET
Maybe they find all the gnashing of teeth over this topic amusing

ESPN’s silence is deafening.
WBGV • 08/21/24 08:25 AM ET
Easy answer, they want to help themselves first.
VTCALS72 • 08/21/24 07:33 AM ET
Don’t have to. They are going to keep this close to the vest
RJHokie • 08/20/24 09:35 PM ET
Media companies move slower than a snail

So far nothing 🤣🤣**
Stech • 08/20/24 08:42 PM ET
And there will be nothing until the last minute.**

You ask the right question........
2hhoop3 • 08/20/24 08:22 PM ET
