I agree ACC should try. Not sure how motivated ESPN would be, though

I am just surprised at how much play the network gets here and the line of thinking that it will help close the gap with the SEC/B1G. I understand the benefits of a network but I have accepted that the playing field is not level and never will be. A network is not going to put a dent in that monster, IMO.

Would Fox or NBC pay upfront to have right of first refusal when the ESPN -- daveinop 01/26/2016 12:31PM

Makes sense, although i wouldn't go so far as to call Swofford a genius -- ren_hoek 01/25/2016 2:06PM

How much will the ACC profit from games OWNED by Raycom & FSN? -- chuckd4vt 01/25/2016 6:12PM

It's not about media rights for them. It's about cable subscribers paying. -- HOO86 01/25/2016 10:02PM

Betta believe Raycom will get paid for those games THEY own. -- chuckd4vt 01/26/2016 9:12PM

Sorry - but "A pittance is greater than zero" mentality -- 133193Hokie 01/26/2016 05:05AM

People demanded SECN because of football. Football brings the money -- Colonel Jessup 01/26/2016 11:47AM

Tier-3 SEC games are just as bad as tier-3 ACC games. -- EDGEMAN 01/27/2016 07:08AM

Because Miss St fans would riot if they were to be blocked from seeing any -- Colonel Jessup 01/27/2016 11:09AM

Better option is disband and move to top tier leagues. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/27/2016 02:39AM

Well that is really not an option right now. -- Maroon Doom 01/27/2016 2:38PM

Not necessarily. No network, no ACC IMO. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/27/2016 3:37PM

Its alot of poker being played right now -- Mercury 01/26/2016 10:09AM

Good spin. ESPN is outta cash & that's gonna mean more money for ACC? -- chuckd4vt 01/26/2016 9:26PM

Sounds like ESPN has 1 yr to convince Texas -- Red Hokie 01/26/2016 5:13PM

Frankly, if Texas doesn't bring OU along, not good move for ACC............ -- chuckd4vt 01/26/2016 9:31PM

Re: Sorry - but -- 33laszlo99 01/26/2016 06:13AM

So the ACC is gonna have to split things at least 4 ways? Great. -- chuckd4vt 01/25/2016 11:07PM

Thinking long term. ESPN can't afford for even a half-ass -- daveinop 01/26/2016 12:26PM

Just don't see how VT will make a ton of money from games they don't own. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/26/2016 9:16PM

Not suggesting that. My point is... -- daveinop 01/28/2016 2:38PM

I think that the ACC wants ESPN to do it, but there are options. -- HOO86 01/25/2016 10:08PM
