We don't actually know what the contractual carriage fees will be with Comcast for the ACC Network, both for in-state and out-of-state subscribers, and exactly which tiers of service the ACC Network will be on.

Comcast has about 18.5 million TV subs. Let's assume absolute best case scenario that ACC Network will get 75 cents for every single Comcast sub. That would be $0.75 (carriage fee per month) x 18,500,000 (# of Comcast subs) x 12 (months) / 2 (ESPN gets half) / 15 (# of full share ACC teams + conference gets to keep a full share) = $5,550,000 per school per year.

Now I don't think the ACC Network will be getting the full carriage fees for every single Comcast TV sub, especially in states that don't have an ACC school. Some out-of-state subs will pay a reduced carriage fee and some won't pay any at all, since the ACC Network will be on a higher package tier than they subscribe to. So let's say that the ACC probably averages about half of that $5,550,000 best case scenario, which would be $2,775,000 per school per year.

I'm also assuming that the advertising revenue that the network generates will all go towards ESPN's expenses in running the network.
