Here's my question. If the deal gives ESPN exclusive rights to Sun Belt sports, what does that do to our new agreement with CST?

According to @ralphDrussoAP the SBC will be a “key part” of the new ESPN Plus as part of the new SBC/ESPN deal.
The service, ESPN Plus, will roll out in late March early April and cost $4.99 per month

Looks like it.

Looks like it.

There has to be an exemption if you pay for an ESPN cable/satellite/streaming TV subscription. Without that it's just horrible double dipping.
