Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 1840023, member: 5312"] Maybe this was posted on another thread but I don't see it yet. FSU President John Thrasher was interviewed by Warchant (a paid site I believe) and said in this copy and paste from the ACC BBs site*: [I] ACC’s new contract with ESPN calls for three separate “look-in” periods -- times when executives from both entities will be able to sit down and discuss whether the contract terms needs to be renegotiated. The first of those previously unreported “look-ins” will occur in 2021, just two years after the new ACC Network is scheduled to launch on cable and satellite television.[/I] [I] “So there are going to be three opportunities during the course of the contract to take a look at it,” Thrasher told [URL='http://Warchant.com']Warchant.com[/URL]. “To take a step back and see how it’s doing: Do there need to be adjustments? Things like that. ESPN agreed to that. The ACC agreed to it. So the first one will be in 2021. So we’ll have about 2½ years of experience, and we’ll see where we are. “If we have to make some adjustments, we’ll make some adjustments.” If the college football landscape does change, or if the new network has any issues with distribution, Thrasher said he takes comfort in having the “look-in” periods as part of the contract. [/I] Also Va Tech AD "Whit Babcock was on Sirius with Mark Packer a couple hours ago. They were talking about the ACC network, and he very explicitly reiterated that the deal will put the ACC on the level of B1G and SEC and separate them from the PAC and B12." Babcock is the one who said this past Spring the network is coming and he was right. Finally, I understand it will be part of the ESPN bundle - if you get the other ESPN channels, you will also get the ACC network. *[URL="http://csnbbs.com/thread-786249.html"]Warchant: New ACC/ESPN deal to provide three "look in" periods[/URL] [/QUOTE]
