TSN will want to get the rights back. There's no sense in alienating them. This is a defeat, but you can only imagine the sort of money that's going to be thrown around in 12 years.

There's no ego at play when one bid is eight times larger than the other.
Multiple reports have Bell/TSN's bid as comparable to the one accepted from Sportsnet.
