Hail Alsacs,

Not that I expect this to change your mind much, but here is a source that basically says they always thought that an ACC linear network was "wonkers".  Who would want that in an age of cord-cutters?  Well, besides mentioning basketball as a prime motivator for some to sign up for the ACCN, they say this:

[I]Most important, the ACC holds one particular trump card that could eventually prove to be extremely lucrative: Notre Dame.[/I]

I happen to agree with TerryD on this (which the article doesn't address) that Notre Dame was the key reason behind the stabilization of the conference in 2013 (maybe this is colored by the fact that I also believe that without the earlier additions of Pitt and SU, ND never joins).  But I can understand a different point of view on this as well.  But to say that ND "doesn't do squat for the ACC Network" is not accurate, imho.

Cheers,
Neil
