How much sense does that make? A series that doesn't have its complete schedule yet but has a TV contract in place is getting a rights fee? How would ABC/ESPN even determine what to pay for it in that circumstance? On the other hand, ABC/ESPN can say it's "X" dollars an hour when our hours are available, sign the contract and collect the money.

There's a rumour out there that ESPN already determined the worth of the currently confirmed schedule of events and arrived at a value. I assume once the rest are confirmed that the deal will be adjusted as per the worth of those events.
I agree though, believe what you want to believe.
