What all matches will Sony lose if espn exit from them? Or sports shown in espn are property of espn or sony just uses espn to showcase their property?

Better is to rebrand Star sports select channels to espn1&2(with their independant logo as earlier) .Its 3 major pros are
1.Presence of ESPN brand in India continues.
2.Escape from the bigger logos of SS select channels. Espn logo is compacted and comfortable.
3.Keeping standard for espn(Since Select channels telecast premium contents. Also special shows like IPL dugout etc.).For an international brand like espn its not fair that sony used it to telecast Celebrity cricket league,Worldcup in regional languages etc.
