Why don't we have it? B/c ESPN doesn't think it will make $

They'd rather pay the ACC millions to not launch a network with content they already paid for.

With a few exceptions possibly, all basketball and football games are available on ESPN3 on your tv via a device with the WatchESPN app.

If the Pac12 has a network, the ACC should too. PERIOD. -- chuckd4vt 03/05/2016 12:38AM

And BTW, the University of Texas has its own network, and it's profitable. ** -- chuckd4vt 03/05/2016 12:39AM

I believe profitable for Texas but dreadful for ESPN who cuts the checks ** -- jesuisvtguy 03/05/2016 9:28PM

Nope. That changed starting this year. -- chuckd4vt 03/06/2016 12:16AM

Projected by who? ESPN? -- VictoryTurkey 03/06/2016 08:39AM

NOPE. Most recent reports say it'll make money in yr. 6. -- chuckd4vt 03/06/2016 09:26AM

The Dodd article above says no. -- daveinop 03/08/2016 5:51PM

So it's still not profitable, they just think that it will turn around? ** -- HokieDevil 03/06/2016 8:52PM

No. They have already lined up the distribution for it to be profitable. -- chuckd4vt 03/06/2016 9:05PM

Have you seen anything on when they will switch from -- daveinop 03/07/2016 09:03AM

No. Just read articles posted here. LHN's on TWC, Dish, and DirectTV now. ** -- chuckd4vt 03/07/2016 11:38AM

Which confuses me even further.... -- VT ChemE 1986 03/04/2016 1:12PM

Maybe not what you are looking for but here are 8 reasons -- Colonel Jessup 03/04/2016 2:05PM

All good points... especially #5 ** -- Calamitous 03/04/2016 6:32PM

Very Helpful. Thanks. One question -- VT ChemE 1986 03/04/2016 3:22PM

Once you go through the costs to create it, distributing it to the whole -- Late 80s Hokie 03/07/2016 12:17PM

ESPN and FOX over committed -- BigCrumpy 03/04/2016 1:57PM

I disagree with you. -- CobbCountyHokie 03/05/2016 09:23AM

So Cobb, you may have said elsewhere... but what do you see happening here? -- mwke 03/08/2016 08:23AM

So basically, the conference networks are failures -- VT ChemE 1986 03/04/2016 3:25PM

In the LHN, it is a two step process -- daveinop 03/04/2016 5:31PM

We played a basketball game only available on ESPN3 last night. -- Red Hokie 03/03/2016 9:54PM

And yet, I was able to watch it in high definition just fine. -- BigDave 03/07/2016 09:57AM

We went to a sports bar in CHARLOTTE And couldn't watch ** -- chuckd4vt 03/03/2016 11:28PM

ACCN is a work in progress as per Swoford... -- SAMMYNOLE 03/04/2016 07:08AM
