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.

I thought Big 10 people were smart, let me explain...
Big 10 owns their network and sells to distributors Fox, NBC, CBS.
ESPN built the SEC network and pays the SEC for sports content on ABC, and all the ESPN stations.
Both models work great. Pac 12 tried to copy the Big 10 but no one wanted their network. ESPN and Fox got it CHEAP! But even getting it cheap, the Pac 12 network got terrible ratings, so neither ESPN or Fox wanted to renew. ESPN did offer 25 million a team but USC and UCLA wanted 50.
No one else really wanted it, because the ratings are terrible. You know the rest
