ESPN article said several interesting things
1) they said that by the time the linear channel comes on. The acc payout will be in the ballpark of the sec and big ten.
2 it sounds like a new contract may be in place and it may be benchmarked to the other conferences.
3) all the schools signed a twenty year grant of rights. Including notre dame. That in itself speaks volumes on how the people with the real knowledge of the contract feels. It also probably means a new contract is coming too.
4) the digital portion of the accn is coming on line this fall. That is great for us cord cutters.
i know people are disappointed with the linear channel not being running until 2019. subscription negotiations take time with the cable companies take time. I wonder if that is when ESPN contracts are up with the cable companies. Hopefully it is. So ESPN can use their leverage to get better deal for the acc network.
