Despite the public sniping between ESPN and FS1 over the past couple of years, there's actually quite a bit of precedent for this. Look at this article from 2013 about how much ESPN and Fox worked together regarding sports rights:

Note that Disney and Fox always had (and still have) a mutual interest in keeping the power of Comcast down (who is simultaneously their biggest business partner since they pay the most cable subscriber fees and their biggest threat since they have their own networks and studios to compete with them directly). The old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" adage applies here.
