2 things, the Pac12 Network makes money now and they have options.

Either the Pac12 Network will get picked up by a major provider or they are in for a really nice payday once someone else comes along and buys in, which will assure better distribution. How nice is it for a Fox to have the nuts and bolts of this thing already in place?

It's not what they expected or wanted, but the Pac12N is profitable. Furthermore, they've announced already how they are going to further decrease costs.

Anyhow, if/when this thing gets picked up, $5 million will be the conservative estimate.

And BTW, the ACC has something like 2.5 or 3 times as many people in its footprint. An ACCNetwork using this model would EASILY be bringing in $5million/yr/school.

PAC12 has about 2/3 of the ACC's population footprint -- lawhokie 03/20/2016 10:28AM

Just curious... -- ren_hoek 03/17/2016 2:52PM

My "background" is I've predicted most of the ACC's missteps since 2002. -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 02:43AM

Those weren't the truly major blunders though... -- lawhokie 03/20/2016 10:45AM

Oh. I woulda taken WVU over Cuse. Geography matters. -- chuckd4vt 03/23/2016 12:10AM

I hope you wash that wall periodically ** -- daveinop 03/18/2016 11:00AM

Wall? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 5:32PM

So to be clear, what are your predictions relative to -- daveinop 03/19/2016 11:47AM

Tough to underestimate ACC leadership. Nobody is on the same page there. -- chuckd4vt 03/19/2016 1:25PM

I'm less bullish on the pac12n model -- ren_hoek 03/20/2016 10:15AM

Let's just agree the guys on the ACC's payroll recently have been horrible. -- chuckd4vt 03/21/2016 01:54AM

ACC football perception is improving -- ren_hoek 03/21/2016 10:44AM

Which is why that initial deal shouldn't have been such a long one. -- chuckd4vt 03/21/2016 3:17PM

Raycom only owns a handful of games each week. ESPN owns everything else. -- chuckd4vt 03/21/2016 01:43AM

Minor point. ESPN owns the right to televise -- daveinop 03/22/2016 8:47PM

+ for you. thanks for putting in the thought/time. ** -- daveinop 03/19/2016 3:25PM

Interesting... -- ren_hoek 03/18/2016 09:11AM

So on July 1, we're gonna be celebrating? Correct? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 02:31AM

What are your credentials? Sources? U support Swofford? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 02:25AM

Please explain your confidence in ACC leadership? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 02:22AM

Curious. What indicates to you the ACC will be competitive? ** -- chuckd4vt 03/18/2016 02:28AM
