Uhhhmmm, They already got a freebe with a serious inventory upgrade with the addition of two blue bloods. You don't think Texas and Oklahoma wouldn't have made the last renegotiation more lucrative if they were added before? ESPN was in euphoria just to pay even money to add them. A ninth conference is more and better inventory to choose from and they would get that totally for free while all the schools would actually loose money by loosing .5 home games.

Because I believe the contract was negotiated before UT and OU were added to the conference and I wasn’t aware of any expanded payment for expanded inventory.
Eta
I know that they payment to schools weren’t reduced, but adding two historic names should result in an escalation in payments as each game they play is a bigger draw than say UK or USCe and certainly Vandy
