Why pull the compelling games off of ABC and ESPN? Why would Disney want to


do that? Certainly Disney and the ACC make more off of games on those networks than any conference branded network. ABC and ESPN have higher carrriage fees and more subscribers than the conference branded networks ever will.

The new ACC network will live or die off of 2nd tier football games, 2nd tier basketball games and baseball games. Some day, lacrosse might move the needle. ESPN may move a marquis game to the new network the first year to kick off visibility. But the ACC has insufficient marquis games for the two big networks as it is.
