Comcast's agreement with Disney is through early 2022, linked. So I don't know what happens with Comcast. However, some of Comcast's strongest presence is in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, Georgia (Atlanta area), and Florida. Heart of much of ACC footprint. Comcast is not in North Carolina.

Does Comcast make us wait until 2022? or can Disney do an interim deal? Plus we have this bidding war over 21st Century Fox. Will be interesting for Comcast. The rest we should have by launch.

Was ESPN the only network interested in the ACC at the time? -- VTHokie2000 06/20/2018 1:28PM

There were others, but none with the muscle in the market like ESPN. -- Stech 06/20/2018 8:04PM
