Read the following two sentences slowly. Read them out loud.
=============================================================

ESPN originally offered the Big East a $130 million/year deal in 2011. The conference rejected the deal. They are now about to accept a contract worth $23 million/year (that's not a typo).

=============================================================

By the way, this means that NBCSN lost out in trying to get Big East football on their network.
