We will all know by Thursday about the details...

but I doubt Swofford will cover everything. I have a feeling things will be changing monthly with the ACCN and OTT network. I am hoping that the OTT network revenue will be separate from the $45 million late fee that ESPN has promised until the ACC gets its network in 2019. That extra $3 million per ACC school (except Notre Dame) will be nice but it won't be the money the Big 10 and SEC schools will be raking in the next 3 years. I was hoping for a cable (linear) network by August 2017.

Here are some thoughts about the new ACC Network (very long winded) -- CobbCountyHokie 07/19/2016 11:46AM

You raise a great question. My guess is -- CobbCountyHokie 07/19/2016 3:22PM

If all this is true,did Maryland make a mistake -- 133175Hokie 07/19/2016 1:37PM

Maryland will rust with the rest of that league. Don't want them back. ** -- HOO86 07/19/2016 2:37PM

It's not $45/team. And no MD didn't make a mistake. ** -- Gator Hokie 07/19/2016 2:22PM

Would be nice to get OTT and 45M late fee, but I'm doubtful. -- benthokie 07/19/2016 12:52PM

Me too. I have to think any OTT profit will pay down the -- dallasvt 07/19/2016 2:18PM

For $10/month, that OTT option better have some good content -- Hokie Bird 07/19/2016 12:26PM

If you put old ACC games on there from previous Seasons -- hokieninsurance 07/19/2016 12:33PM

Especially if its on demand. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 07/19/2016 12:43PM

What are your thoughts about the extension to the GoR? ** -- VTHokie2000 07/19/2016 12:10PM

I think this was required as "insurance" to ESPN -- CobbCountyHokie 07/19/2016 12:23PM

True, but doesn't that put the ACC schools at risk for falling -- VTHokie2000 07/19/2016 12:30PM

May be time to buy a Smart TV. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 07/19/2016 11:56AM

Samsung "smart" TVs are pretty stupid. -- EDGEMAN 07/20/2016 10:48AM

Just get a Roku. Way cheaper and much better interface. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 07/19/2016 12:59PM

Even better is the Roku TV, I have a 4K one & it is awesome ** -- BROman Hokie 07/19/2016 1:50PM
