What's this?

Thanks. Lots of good information. I wonder how it would work.

I kind of like the multiple platform approach. I am intrigued on how it all would work. Wes Durham is a fox / raycom guy. Sounds like:
1) ESPN is still tier 1 - good
2) raycom / fox is still getting a regional broadcast like they currently do.
3) sounds like ESPN paying 45 million for not doing a network.
4) there is a lot of content which falls to like ESPN which is streamed and there is Olympic sports which don't get broadcast at all.
5) I wonder if part of the deal is to get NBC some of that content on espn3 or not broadcast at all for NBC sports channel. I wonder if they pay on top for some of that. That would get us more money. It would give them better content and I assume eyeballs which is something they need.
6) it would set up arrangements with fox, ESPN, and NBC so that you have a working relationship with everyone which may come in useful at the next negotiations.

An ACCN would cross several channels & not be like the SECN & B1GN | $45mil -- ChrisLords 03/12/2016 10:38AM

So bottom line is, there will be no ACCN, in the true sense of the word. -- Atlee Hokie 03/13/2016 08:29AM

The bottom line is there is no bottom line yet. ** -- Stech 03/13/2016 09:49AM

Do you believe there is still the possibility of a real ACCN? -- Atlee Hokie 03/17/2016 04:30AM

Disagree- the bottom line does exist right now- -- KnoxHokie 03/14/2016 2:53PM

Therein lies the frustration IMO ** -- Calamitous 03/13/2016 6:30PM

Thanks. Lots of good information. I wonder how it would work. -- ahokie4u 03/12/2016 7:17PM

My guess: -- daveinop 03/13/2016 5:15PM

Thanks for sharing, this does not bode well for the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 03/12/2016 1:19PM

There is no scenario where the ACC gets SEC money in the near term. -- daveinop 03/13/2016 5:41PM

I don't see the ACC getting more/school than the B10... -- EDGEMAN 03/14/2016 2:13PM

"making" more -- daveinop 03/15/2016 09:02AM

MAYBE is all you guys have. RIGHT NOW, the ACC's behind them all. -- chuckd4vt 03/14/2016 12:48AM

Tomorrow is always maybe...and you are speculating as much as I am -- daveinop 03/14/2016 10:21AM

Three million is the bottom...not the top. -- Stech 03/12/2016 3:48PM

No, we just have NDBC to contend with, -- Marooned 03/13/2016 1:38PM

Been letting it to play out for yrs. Each decision = less confidence in ACC ** -- chuckd4vt 03/13/2016 01:39AM

So a 3 million bottom is bad news...okay if that's how you choose to see it ** -- Stech 03/13/2016 07:33AM

You cant look at it in isolation. You have to put it -- 133193Hokie 03/13/2016 09:16AM

Isolating the fact that a 3 million bottom is bad news...that's isolation. -- Stech 03/13/2016 09:47AM

Of course not, but the ACC should not have limited -- 133193Hokie 03/13/2016 11:06AM

What very good content? Why do 95% of posters -- Colonel Jessup 03/13/2016 12:11PM

The way I see it -- Old Line Hokie 03/14/2016 12:43PM

Exactly ** -- Calamitous 03/13/2016 7:40PM

Top SEC games aren't on their network. Potential ACCN content is better. -- chuckd4vt 03/13/2016 12:49PM

It's like you didn't read my post -- Colonel Jessup 03/13/2016 1:23PM

I think we don't have a network due to horrible leadership more than anythi -- chuckd4vt 03/13/2016 1:46PM

Then you just weren't paying attention during (link) -- Colonel Jessup 03/13/2016 3:13PM

In the big picture isn't 3 million almost zero compared to the SEC/B10 ? ** -- Hokie Dale 03/12/2016 6:58PM

No. -- daveinop 03/14/2016 10:41AM

Don't even bother talking logic and sense -- ren_hoek 03/12/2016 6:07PM

Exactly how long are you will to "let it play out". -- Atlee Hokie 03/13/2016 08:20AM

July 1 ** -- daveinop 03/13/2016 5:00PM

Been hearing wait till next year since 2009. We shall see. ** -- chuckd4vt 03/14/2016 12:50AM

Agreed -- Marooned 03/13/2016 1:28PM

Seems 2017 is a waypoint in the process -- ren_hoek 03/13/2016 09:56AM

I don't follow your last sentence. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 03/12/2016 4:49PM

I assume that Stech is talking about ACC 's academic partnership? -- Old Line Hokie 03/12/2016 5:29PM

Amen, Old Line Hokie- +10 for the post. ** -- KnoxHokie 03/13/2016 1:24PM

There is a major split on this board- like politics -- Mercury 03/12/2016 10:35PM

Some see reality. Acad. partnership & conf. affiliation aren't related. -- chuckd4vt 03/12/2016 11:17PM

You need to talk to the people most responsible for raising University $$$$ -- Stech 03/13/2016 07:39AM

Please verify, you believe VT would raise less money if not in the ACC? -- chuckd4vt 03/13/2016 12:51PM

Yes -- RTFC 03/14/2016 11:54AM

And how would that change if VT were in another P5 league? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/14/2016 12:34PM

Ahem, that was my question to you below re: OU -- daveinop 03/14/2016 5:27PM

Agreed... -- Calamitous 03/12/2016 2:00PM

Why not restructure the ESPN News channel as the MACCN? -- EDGEMAN 03/12/2016 2:00PM

Until we get our non-revenue sports on television as often... -- EDGEMAN 03/12/2016 1:08PM

Thanks ChrisLords! CRB junkies you don't want to miss this one!!!! -- Stech 03/12/2016 11:34AM

Almost sounded as if Wes Durham feels an... -- Old Line Hokie 03/12/2016 1:23PM

Thanks. Lots of good information. I wonder how it would work.
