RE: AAC and ESPN Exclusive Negotiating Window?
ESPN/2/U do not show 24 college football games each week. Also, SEC and PAC Networks do not broadcast 16 games each week. Lots of replays. And, NBC only shows Notre Dame home games (about one every other week) and FOX rarely broadcasts 3 games on a Saturday.

So, there is some overstatement of the inventory slots. Probably more like this:

CBS - 1 (exceptions where they have a night game)
NBC - 0 or 1
Fox - 1 or 2
ABC - 2 or 3
ESPN - 5-8 (1 or 2 on Thursday, 1 or 2 on Friday, 3-4 on Saturday)
ESPN2 - 5-8 (1 or 2 on Thursday, 1 or 2 on Friday, 3-4 on Saturday)
ESPNU - 5-8 (1 or 2 on Thursday, 1 or 2 on Friday, 3-4 on Saturday)
ESPNNews - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)
FS1 - 5-8 (1 or 2 on Thursday, 1 or 2 on Friday, 3-4 on Saturday)
FS2 - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)
CBSSN - 5-8 (1 or 2 on Thursday, 1 or 2 on Friday, 3-4 on Saturday)
SEC Network - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)
B1G Network - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)
ACC Network - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)
Pac-12 Network - 2-5 (0 or 1 on Thursday, 0 or 1 on Friday, 2-3 on Saturday)

So, that means in a given week, there are likely to be about 40-65 broadcast timeslots. So, in some weeks, there might only be 8-10 timeslots available outside of the 32 provided by the P5. Even in a great week where there might be 30-35 timeslots available, half of those are for ESPNNews, CBSSN, and FS2 and the bulk of the ESPN/2/U or FS1 availability is likely Thursday and Friday.

For sure, the AAC brings good ratings and a nice value proposition...but, you're looking at a handful of timeslots on ESPN/2/U or FS1 each week...if you're lucky.

EDIT: Added B1G Network, so a couple more potential timeslots for college football....but mostly replays.
