They locked the league in for that many years for only $1 mil/year?

That was the old deal. No terms announced yet for the new deal.

I assume there are escalator clauses based on...

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't indexed to say other G5 conference television deals, number of teams playing football, etc. etc.

(I understand that if a conference gains or loses 2 or more teams that ESPN can reopen their contract for re-negotiation based on the new circumstances.).
