Does ESPN have the rights to any Week 0 games scheduled?

Seriously, billybobby, you must not pay much attention to AAC games vs contract-bowl-conference teams.
How do you mean?
Navy has a contract with CBS with 1 single holt game on ESPN. Didn’t know it was the ND home game.
I actually think the deal is the ND game when it's home for Navy and 1 other home game for Navy per year IIRC.
Wow. I didn’t realize CBS lost the Navy/ND game every other year. Plus the SEC games. Wow...
So initially tongue in cheek because of your posting on home games that the non-contract-bowl-conference teams have with contract-bowl-conference teams.
But, yeah, it's kind of a major part of the AAC-ESPN deal. Second paragraph of the ESPN Press Release from March 2019
https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-relea...extension/
and discussed by Aresco and ESPN's Magnus in the full transcript:

And it was highlighted a year earlier when CBSSN and AAC signed the deal for the Navy homegames:

“Getting the Navy-Notre Dame game every other year is extremely valuable,” Aresco said. “That is really, really important.” May 9th 2018
