What's this?

That's not the ACC's contract. It's Raycom's.

Raycom bought the rights from ESPN. ESPN would have to sell games to CBS, and the ACC would not be involved. It's sort of like subleases.

The ACC contract is exclusively with ESPN. The way that the ACC gets more money is growing the footprint for higher subscriber rates for the ACC Network. That means members from new states, preferably with larger population. And by adding 2 members opening up the ESPN deal for higher tier 1 value with ESPN. People keep talking about adding Notre Dame, but that's not like adding a new member with 10 games. It's adding literally only 1.5 games.

Exactly. B10 isn't signing a contract where they lose all national prime -- RTFC 02/16/2022 5:48PM

If BIG gets on NBC, ND loses bit more INDY. -- MrFantastic! 02/16/2022 06:05AM

That's why the ACC should have begged NBC to take them on. ABC/ESPN deal -- reestuart 02/16/2022 1:12PM

CBS may make a push. Already have B1G men's basketball. ** -- HOO86 02/15/2022 9:18PM

CBS could get ACC for decent investment. Help both IMHO. ** -- MrFantastic! 02/16/2022 06:03AM
