Pete Thamel puts out info on imminent ACC Channel


Pete Thamel posted this article today on SI's Campus Rush site. Other than Tim Brando's tweets the other day, Columbus Hokie's post (and Will's subsequent article), and Stech's post, this is really the only thing I've seen about it out there:

"Between the Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC, the Big 12 could be viewed as the most vulnerable in its current state. With only ten teams, the Big 12 is the smallest league, the only one without a championship game and is one of two Power 5 leagues lacking a cable television network. (The ACC also lacks a network, but is expected to iron out the remaining issues and announce a network deal with ESPN that could be considered the model for future television deals in the cord-cutting era.)"

and later

The Cable Problem
Without having seen the data, this is the hardest area to project. On the one hand, there's a narrative that says cord cutters (internet and mobile viewing experiences) are killing traditional cable. The Pac-12 Network's struggles have shown that just having a network doesn't guarantee success, as broadcasting has entered an era of stiffer distribution resistance. The counter-argument is the ACC's imminent deal.
