I will consider that you didn't understand a word of my post


"It [ACC] sold it [Tier 3] to be monetized by ESPN. If ESPN fails to do that[ACCN], it [Tier 3] belongs to the schools. If an ACCN falls through, the ACC could proceed down another avenue...its own network, a contract with someone else, or individual deals."

The ACC has yet to make a penny from Tier 3. If the ACCN falls through, the ACC owns its Tier 3 content and gets increased rights fees for the remainder being shown [that would be the $45 million penalty payment].

The deal you trash averages more per school per year ($24m/member) than the Big 12 deal ($23m/member). So are you uninformed or is this just spin?

I'll make it as simple as possible. The ACC signed an all rights deal with ESPN (not a Tier 1 deal). The ACCN IS the ACC's Tier 3 component of that deal.

The Big 12 strategy was to allow members to do their own Tier 3 deals. You love it. I get it. I think it was a mistake. I understand that you disagree.

The ACC strategy was to allow ESPN to do a "network" for Tier 3 content.

In order to compare "apples to apples" as you seem to endorse, then one must compare the profits of any ACCN with the collective profits of the Big 12 Tier 3 deals.

Right now the Big 12 leads. We'll see where the ACC is, hopefully soon.
