ESPN will acquire the NFL Network and other media assets, including the popular RedZone channel, from the NFL. 

In exchange, the league will receive a 10% equity stake in the sports network as part of a landmark agreement, the two sides announced Tuesday.

The shift in control sparked some fear among football fans about whether the deal would lead to changes.
