The MLB and ESPN contract wasn't due to expire until 2028, but that didn't stop ESPN from trying to demand shrinking rights payments to MLB to broadcast their material, and as such, Major League Baseball told them to piss off and canceled the contract, effective after this season ends:
And they didn't mince words about ESPN in general:
Wow MLB did not hold back in its letter to owners announcing the end of its deal with ESPN (after this season) via @TheAthletic https://t.co/WLp1WZF2Kk pic.twitter.com/bvHxuQmaE2— ✏️Jacob Feldman (@JacobFeldman4) February 20, 2025
Quite frankly, all college athletic conferences should take note. If ESPN is willing to do this to MLB, they're willing to do it to the ACC, BigXII, AAC, MAC, etc. They should all be looking for ways to get out of that contract soon and find a stable partner who is willing to work with them.
