What's this?

Lack of the ACCN is discussed in that set of Buckeye posts-


Like it is not going to happen and will be the driver to break up the ACC. In fact, there is discussion that ESPN may be purposely dragging their feet in order to destabilize the ACC.

Also, ran across an December 2015 article based on an interview with Swofford about the ACCN by the Charlotte Business Journal.

Here is a summary of excerpt from the article:

"The ACC, like the SEC, has a long-term contract with ESPN for football and men’s basketball games and, if an ACC cable network is created, it would be done in tandem with ESPN. The current contract with ESPN pays the ACC an average of $300 million per year through 2026-27.

“There’s not much I can tell you at this point in time other than it continues to be a work in progress,” Swofford told me Tuesday when I asked him about the prospect of an ACC channel. “And we’re satified with that progress. We’re not yet at a point where we’re definitive in what we intend to do or when we intend to do it, but we’ve got a great partner in ESPN. It doesn’t get any better than ESPN in sports television and our discussions are ongoing.”

Swofford, similar to what industry analysts told me this week, noted that the how and when of a network launch are complex, crucial questions."

Swofford is fiddling while--------just fill in the blank here.
