What's this?

Re: The conference TV network as we know it is dead


1: Some people said there was a clause for an ACC Network by a specific date. Other people said there was no such thing. Now we know the truth. There is a clause in the ESPN contract to have an ACC Network by 7/1/216. Since there will be no ACC Network by that date, the clause calls for a payment of an additional $45M a year to the ACC schools.

2: That means ESPN now has to pay more for content they already have rights to.

3: This means there will be no ACC Network in the form of the BTN or SEC Network.

4: Networks are no longer interested in making more conference networks. There is too much overlay as it already is.

5: This means there will be no Big 12 Network. Which means no expansion. Which means Oklahoma ends up in the B1G.
