Update: Cord Cutters News has confirmed with The Walt Disney Company that a deal in principle has been reached with AT&T to avoid any blackouts. The deal is not final as both Disney and AT&T’s lawyers have to go over the contract but a preliminary deal is now in place to prevent any blackouts.
This is great news for college football fans who can now enjoy their football on ESPN this weekend without the fear of a possible blackout.
