That's not even close to being accurate. The Pac12 wanted SEC type money because USC and UCLA wanted more money. ESPN doesn't own the Pac12 network, so why would they pay that much to distribute their content, that would be stupid.

BTW the Pac12 deal was split between ESPN and Fox. Fox didn't step up and pay 50 million a school either. Are they broke or just smart?

ESPN was the main reason the Pac went out of business. ESPN cannot pay the SEC more even though the SEC added Texas and Oklahoma. ESPN cannot pay the ACC anymore or it would have to protect its investment. ESPN is downsizing, to put all its investments into a super conference in an attempt to save money and look good to future buyers.
