I don't believe the contract is that simple or that binding; we know nothing about the actual terms & conditions
In fact, I'm pretty sure they're still negotiating the detailed T&Cs--and ESPN is firing shots across bows.

I think UVa and UNC move the needle for B1G. Also, Stanford does, too.

For sure, but I don't think UO/UW want to be relegated to just the 10:30pm slot

The "obscurity" is not the point. NOBODY here knows what the contract actually says

Mega Conferences are unwieldy. 16 is a lot. 24 is ridiculous!
