Just saw on twitter. And it is a good point I never thought about. ESPN currently owns rights to some Big 10 basketball content. However, that will change with this next contract the Big 10 is about to sign. Does that bring an end to the ACC-Big 10 challenge? ESPN does NOT like the Big 10 right now and I could see them not being happy that only half of the challenge would be on ESPN.
I could see ESPN telling the ACC to change the challenge to the PAC or the SEC depending on how the PAC contract works out and the potential merge/media rights merge.
