ESPN doesn't have to do a damn thing
but they are businessmen. They will renegotiate. What's bad for the ACC is also bad for them. Maybe they already plan to and that played a part in backing out of the B1G package. I think they will pony up more cash, but they will want something in return, of course. Do they want expansion? Maybe; give it to them. Do they have scheduling wants? That's reasonable. Anything but an extension to the term.
