What's this?

Here's one where Swofford says additional rights fees if no channel.


“If we’re going to do this,” Swofford said, “we need to do it in the right way from the beginning that gives us the opportunity to have long-term success, and that’s what we’re trying to do and time it in a way so the distribution can be good, if not great, coming out, if we go this route. The other alternative is larger rights fees (from ESPN).”

This is not in the context of a one time payment. It's annual. But he wouldn't discuss it earlier this month at the Spring Meeting press conference. He was asked.
