It is natural....
to be cynical and expect the worst when it comes to revenue numbers not being released. The negative thoughts may even prove to be true. However, the fact that subscriber numbers are being released is at least some counter and an indication that holding the revenue numbers may be due to other things including, the uncertainty associated with system subscribers out of footprint that have to physically select the network in order for the league to get paid. So far the network subscriber numbers compare favorably with both the SEC and B10 launches and that would indicate additional annual revenue per school in the $6-$10 million range if the carriage rates are comparable to what the other conference networks got. Always better to under promise(or not promise at all) and over deliver which may have something to do with Disney/ESPN and the ACC playing it close to the vest.
