The payment for those 2-3 away games plus basketball has already

been negotiated in the form of 20% of a full share of the main contract with ESPN. Not a full share because HOME games drives all tv. With ACCN, the only new ND content is providing is Olympic sports plus an avenue to replay games they are a part of. I am not pissed about the 100% but your logic of "it's not their fault their football games don't find their way down to the ACCN" does not fly. They are already getting paid for those under the main contract. The ACCN is an extension of the main contract but with a better avenue to show games normally sent to Raycom plus Olympic sports. They should get higher than 20% because they will be on there so much for all sports just like the others. But football drives the bus. Coming up with a fair percentage is hard so they just gave them a full share. Not a huge deal.

Full share network money, 1/5 share of rights money. So until we know -- manassashoo 07/21/2016 5:59PM

ND home football games were never going to be on an ACCN anyhow. -- chuckd4vt 07/21/2016 5:49PM

That means they don't deserve any football revenue. Zero $! ** -- EDGEMAN 07/21/2016 5:58PM

They do provide 2 or 3 road games for the conference each year. Worth a ton ** -- chuckd4vt 07/21/2016 6:42PM

They haven't gotten any of that money before, why now? -- Atlee Hokie 07/22/2016 12:30AM

Pretend those 2-3 games all end up on ACCN instead ABC/ESPN. Happy? -- marcbvtgm 07/22/2016 2:05PM
