It's not a bad consolation for not having a conference

network. The WBO games were ones slotted for ESPN+, so the ratings for those games will now be included in the next media contract. More games on a linier channel is most certainly an upgrade. I do however, realize that the dollars seem to be how things are measured today, but ESPN+ productions are just terrible, and if B12 get NBA type productions - well heck, I'll take that every day. ESPN owns the rights to the B12, but that does not force them to put B12 games on any of their networks. I think it's the same for the ACC, but you have the ACCN, and of course, I have no ability to read the contracts.

Agree. Linear channels are always better than ESPN+ streaming.**

Wrong network, the question is irrelevant.
