[2] my shorthand for "ACC Network Extra"
COMMENTS: At first I thought it was blatantly unfair for only one ACC team to be covered on a linear ESPN channel... then it hit me: this is the final chance for an ACC Network tune-up for college football, and I'm guessing these 7 schools (and possibly even Clemson) will be using their own-campus facilities to produce these telecasts. To be honest, this time next year it could be this same break-down of TV networks, just changing the ACCX to ACCN.
