What's this?

ESPN owns all of the content it elects to show. ACC members retain

what it doesn't show as well as some peripherals (coaches shows, radio, etc.)

Part of me wants ESPN to balk and give the ACC an opening to look elsewhere. I don't think they will but ESPN is certainly in a bit of a bind right now. LHN is finally about to become profitable and at the same moment, ESPN may have to to throw another $45m into a hole with the ACC with no additional ROI.

Meanwhile, Swofford is in trouble with his membership. He pulled a rabbit out of the hat with ND but the AD's aren't going to have much peace if by July 1 he doesn't have something shiny and new for them...or at least very green. Wonder how many times Radakovich has asked how Chad is liking his job?

The Raycom/rights argument is a bit of a red herring, imo. it assumes -- daveinop 03/16/2016 09:34AM
