How is ESPN able to renegotiate now after the deal is complete? Unless we are indeed bringing in 1-3 new members which could change the makeup of the conference by quite a bit?

If one of certain teams left it is an automatic. If a certain number leave it is automatic. Otherwise it's up to ESPN and the AAC. My guess is not much comes out of this. I doubt a full share loss, but the amount of content takes a hit so we may see a small reduction based on that.

Most likely we got a short list from ESPN and some slightly altered language about the terms if we add programs.

Ah, this makes better sense. So not an automatic trigger, but Aresco willing to work with ESPN on an adjustment to keep our good standing and not ruffle any feathers with the big network execs.
