ESPN was all in on the LHN because it was a pilot project for their bigger target, the SEC Network and because $15 million per year was chump change at the time for ESPN/Disney.
What ESPN did to keep Texas in the conference was to guarantee the Big 12's contract would not shrink when A&M and Mizzou left, so that the remaining teams yearly share increased. Since the legislator had blocked Texas from going to the Pac 12, they decided they'd wait it out until the next round of realignment. Which, of course, turned out to be a horrible move.
