Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 419101, member: 652"] This won't happen, the ACC is tied to ESPN, Notre Dame Football is with NBC and I highly doubt NBC and ESPN will together on anything. An ACC Network can't happen because Swofford gave ESPN the 3rd tier rights for the games in the agreement. The ACC's horrible contract that got us into the conference is going to be the destruction of the conference. ESPN messed this all up when they took advantage of the ACC in the re-negotiations an extra 5 million per school 70 million would have been a lot better for ESPN than allowing the conference to become vulnerable like it did to the B1G. The B1G first tier rights in 2017 will go on the open market and with News Corp/FOX married to the BTN lookout for that payday and ESPN will at best split the rights with FOX at an OUTRAGEOUS number for the B1G. The ACC-ESPN K is what has killed this conference's future. [/QUOTE]
