[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 948439, member: 282"] The ACC sold broadcast rights for a certain block of games to Jefferson Pilot insurance, who had a side gig in college sports, decades ago. Lincoln Financial bought them, broadcast the games for a while, and eventually sold the rights to the Fox RSNs. Further financial transactions occurred and ended up with Bally being the name on the broadcast. The ACC was still getting paid on the original deal, negotiated back when games were cheap and you tuned in on some UHF station out of Richmond or something. Transferring the rights didn’t bring any more money. As for the ESPN contract, someone would need to buy the ESPN assets for the rights to transfer, and that’s not a given. Also, without looking at the contract, it’s difficult to say if the rights are transferable. Probably so, but if ESPN crashes, then the sports broadcast market might also be crashing. [/QUOTE]
