I'm less bullish on the pac12n model

Given the struggles. I think the most intriguing idea I've heard is to pocket the $3M/year from the acc for not having a network and then having Raycom use their content to start a network with fox. The dismal ratings on fox are problematic. However, every comment from Swofford and ADs have said that ESPN would be our partner. If there were a way to use the Raycom content with fox (assuming ratings can be improved) and incorporate Comcast as a partner, then the carriage problem might go away. We'll see, but I'd be on someone's payroll if I had all of the answers.

Washington State is losing $. PAC12 Network isn't making much. -- HOO86 03/16/2016 1:00PM

2 things, the Pac12 Network makes money now and they have options. -- chuckd4vt 03/17/2016 01:07AM

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

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

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
