Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 15858, member: 895"] As I said in my follow-up, they undoubtedly have a "look-in" to renegotiate. But again... ESPN is under no obligation to necessarily give much more money. All they have to do is negotiate in good faith. The ACC isn't guaranteed of results. From that standpoint, conferences are rarely going to get full market value in a renegotiation such as that because the networks have more leverage in how the clause is worded. Also, it should be noted that in that interview, it states exactly my point about conference alignment: the contract only has to do with conference home games. So non-conference games are not part of the agreement, thus Texas-Notre Dame would not be part of a new negotiation as far as football is concerned. [/QUOTE]
