your misremembering again  as i never said they were a big part, i said there inclusion helped get espn to spend time and money to get  the network to launch and for espn to get  it bundled into new agreements  so that it would be widely distributed at launch because like it or not   the acc football brand was/is really week when we wanted to start a linear one. The olympic sports for the acc and nd  are more important than other networks because ours are the best  and our week football brands. We didnt plan this well in the beginning so we had a ton of contracts already in place that had to be bought out or modified by espn to make it profitable thats why we had to extend the deal by 7 or 8 years.  The fox issue means nothing to me as fox isnt big time college football and espn is the place everybody knows that has the majority of college football and fox is still new at it and they put there best games at noon to avoid espn. Should the commish  have  got into a bidding war between fox and espn  probably but im guessing  the presidents and ad's said to stay with espn Your hatred  for ND is clouding  sanity on the subject
