I'd think they would have overhauled the current contract.

The current contract required a GoR of a certain duration. A revised GoR would seem to go hand in hand with a revised media contract that includes a new network with various revenue distributions.

The old contract also had a look-in in 2017. Why have another look-in after the streaming network comes into play but before a linear network is in place?

Seems like a redux was in order...unless they are looking to add members in the near term.

What's up? Anything happening? Hot summer...huh? 😎 ** -- Stech 07/18/2016 9:33PM

What if the 3 yrs is cause UT is leaving the B12 & the LHN is the new ACCN -- hokieninsurance 07/18/2016 11:09PM

Yes. ** -- hokieball 07/19/2016 12:22AM

Timing is VERY interesting. Big 12 presidents discuss expansion tomorrow. -- ScottyHeel 07/18/2016 10:16PM

Shots fired towards Dallas. -- Red Hokie 07/18/2016 10:51PM

That's exactly what I was thinking. ** -- hokieball 07/19/2016 12:18AM

Yes it does! I think UT must be headed our way like Stech has hinted before ** -- ScottyHeel 07/18/2016 11:12PM

It's hotter in the southwest than the east coast..,they are sweating big -- Stech 07/18/2016 10:19PM

Good to hear. It's nice that it won't be the ACC that falters to CR. It's -- ScottyHeel 07/18/2016 10:38PM

Really good day for the ACC...stability is assured for a long time to come. ** -- Stech 07/18/2016 10:47PM

All is well..... -- TerryD 07/19/2016 06:51AM

Glad it's done, stability has been assured. ** -- goldendomer 07/19/2016 06:57AM

The only thing that would ever change ND is conference champs only... -- Stech 07/19/2016 07:36AM

That is highly unlikely to change so stability seems likely for the next 5 -- goldendomer 07/19/2016 07:41AM

I don't think they will ever say "champs only" outright. I do think they -- daveinop 07/19/2016 09:15AM

Delete duplicate** -- daveinop 07/19/2016 09:16AM

Stability is good, but cold hard cash should be the measure of this deal. ** -- JohnsonCItyHokie 07/18/2016 10:50PM

The B1G, SEC and B12 wanted ACC schools, there's a reason they didn't leave -- Stech 07/18/2016 11:10PM

The ESPN article had some interesting quotes -- ahokie4u 07/18/2016 10:59PM

Will wait to hear about financials before declaring this good news. -- VTBB 07/18/2016 9:36PM

ESPN article said several interesting things -- ahokie4u 07/18/2016 10:23PM

Three years is a complete joke. What have they been doing for the past -- JohnsonCItyHokie 07/18/2016 9:47PM

It could be a couple things. -- VTBB 07/18/2016 9:53PM

I ran some numbers on the OTT. Others can tell me if they are realistic... -- JohnsonCItyHokie 07/18/2016 10:16PM

From what I have read, there is no subscription - it comes free w/ ESPN -- Colonel Jessup 07/19/2016 10:44AM

I'd think they would have overhauled the current contract. -- daveinop 07/19/2016 11:26AM

No one would pay $35 a month. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 07/18/2016 11:16PM

No. Not a prayer. More like the $5 range, IMO. ** -- reestuart 07/19/2016 09:58AM

I would $35 per month is a bargain against ticket and travel costs. -- Byting Gobbler 07/18/2016 11:51PM

Not if you can watch football and basketball on traditional ESPN family -- Late 80s Hokie 07/19/2016 10:53AM

I used that number because I saw that as a proposed amount in a post here -- JohnsonCItyHokie 07/18/2016 11:21PM

Dean Jordan Wasserman Media, look him up...he's all over this agreement. -- Stech 07/18/2016 10:15PM

As I said, "it's coming" and "take the long view". That's exactly what our -- Stech 07/18/2016 9:45PM

I'd think they would have overhauled the current contract.
