ESPN exercises whatever out clause in the contract that Dodds managed to exclude from the FOIA request.
You have to figure with salaries and production costs ESPN has sunk close to $15 million per year into this thing. They didn't imagine that no carriers would pick it up and/or nobody would pay to subscribe.
Even if they managed to get a marquee conference game on the network I still don't see how they get close to break-even.
The midlevel manager sips at ESPN are going to have a tough time explaining to their bosses how this was ever a good idea.
