I don't see how this would not be breaching the contract signed with the SOCON. Maybe those games being moved to ESPN+ are games that would originally not even get on ESPN 3? Just a guess.

LEXINGTON - The VMI-Western Carolina Southern Conference baseball series April 13-15 has been switched to a different digital platform by ESPN and will now appear on ESPN+.

The VMI-WCU games originally scheduled for ESPN3 will now be shown on ESPN+ which is a new digital service as part of the redesigned ESPN app which is launching on April 12. To watch the VMI-WCU series, viewers are required to subscribe to the ESPN + service for 4.99/month or 49.99/year. Fans signing up within the first week of launch will get a 30-day free trial, after that point fans would still get a seven day free trial. For more info click below

The switch was made by ESPN in accordance with its contract agreement with the Southern Conference.

The league office issued a statement regarding the programming switch Tuesday. “Based on its agreement with the Southern Conference, ESPN has the contractual authority to shift collegiate athletic events from ESPN3 to the newly-launched ESPN+. This movement of content is also occurring at many other Division I conferences that partner with ESPN.”

Viewers can learn more about the new ESPN+ service at the link below.
