Don't think so...contract was redone last summer incl. the GoR extension
They also upped the number of in conference basketball games and ESPN wanted more in conf football as well...I'm still not convinced ACC won't go to 9.
The prior loophole was that ESPN could pay instead of do a network, even though the network was the stated intent.
There is going to be an ACCN. The conference members are spending money to develop the broadcast capability, which they are required to do. How the network gets distributed and what it will make are the Q's.
