It's working for the SEC. To get ESPN/Disney we had to let the SEC go 1st &
prove it worked. Simply because they were winning National Championships every year in football and FSU and Clemson were average. The PAC didn't want to wait and they are paying big time for it.
We are following the model of the SEC, with some of the B1G and the new landscape of streaming. No one really knows until it is in the rear view mirror, but I think we are really well positioned and I think the ACC has as good or better following in the other sports as the SEC and B1G because of their success.
I have been preaching patience as much or more as anyone on this board since 2003, but I am awful glad that we are finally launching and I am going to be able to see more VT sports. Blacksburg is quite a drive for those sports from our biggest bases of NoVa, Richmond and Hampton Roads.
