League officials have been plotting this rollout for weeks, and media already in Charlotte for the football media days will make for a captive audience. ACC athletic directors are meeting Wednesday in Charlotte, with a VIP reception set for that evening with bowl and TV partners -- wouldn't want to pay that bar tab. The ACC’s pursuit of a channel was apparent from its 2014-15 tax return, which showed $624,704 paid to consulting firm Wasserman Media Group. Wasserman’s Dean Jordan has been invaluable helping the ACC in its negotiations with ESPN. No matter the ACC's revenue projections for the channel, their reliability will be questionable." [/QUOTE]
