Selling ESPN raw footage

A producer has contacted me and is asking for some one-of-akind footage I have, and it's been years since I did anyhing like that. Can anyone tell me what the proper rates are? This is of a sporting event that is unique and it's for one of their newshows, they're doing a 'report' on it. Up to a few minutes worth.

thanks for any info, she's waiting on me to get back to her with an asking price. She will not give me any indications, I've asked several times.
 
Your regular daily rate is fine. If ESPN owns it, that is, if they paid you to shoot it, you cannot sell it to them unless you worked thet out with them in writing.
The only stuff I have used from ESPN was for demo purposes and they had no problem with it whatsoever.
One-ff shots I sell to stations start at 500 bucks, if that helps.
