The "hole" I'm referring to is


the purported additional payment due the ACC if there is no ACC "network"; suggested to be in the range of $45m.

The Raycom deal is unaffected. Raycom owns the rights to certain numbers of broadcasts.

If the figure is close, it adds about 17% to ESPN's costs. I'm saying that it is likely ESPN will try to make that money back through distribution of additional content it already has the right to broadcast.

There have been too many comments to count on the subject of the ACC giving away its so-called "Tier 3" rights. ESPN does own the right to show what they want, but they don't own content they don't broadcast. The conference members own any "Tier 3" content ESPN doesn't show. So ESPN can't simply manage that content into oblivion.

I also fear the half baked channel outcome, but I think there is going to be additional ACC content out there in some form or fashion.
