“Football and men’s basketball will remain on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, but the majority of basketball games and about half of the football games will go to ESPN+“


“One thing that will inevitably anger some fans: the majority of basketball games and about half of football games will air on ESPN+, which requires a subscription.”

“To be clear, since the snark has already begun in earnest, this is certainly not some panacea for UConn's athletic department, which remains cash-strapped. And it doesn't change that the AAC pays out far less in TV money than the "Power 5"

This has been covered in another thread, but will the ACC network be standalone, or will it require a subscription to a service like Sling, YouTube TV, etc?

this is certainly not some panacea for UConn's athletic department,

So each American team will be getting 7.5 million for their football and basketball TV rights.
Which is the amount each ACC team will get for just the ACCN per year.

ACC vs ACK

True story: I saw this and was like "well, it's only $7.5M per school each year, but you have to consider that the AAC doesn't have football."

And then I remembered that they do.
