Im not sure many people are understanding this network.  I see several people on this thread stating the football drives in the money.  This is absolutely true, but not vital in creating a network.  For a network to be successful you need a product.  The conference and ESPN make money from people who subscribe to the channel.  So it really doesn't matter if the football or the basketball is bringing in the subscribers, each subscriber is bringing in the same amount of money.  You have to find your niche.  ACC has a great basketball tradition and an amazing fan base.  That is something the ACC network can draw on.  Just like people in SEC territory are demanding SEC network for football, the ACC fan bases will do for basketball.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that for this network, the ACC doesn't need to have the best football product to make money, it just needs to have a product that people in those territories will pay for, to access this content and ACC basketball does this.  Not to mention, if people were to only subscribe during the periods they want, College basketball season is 5 months long compared to College football which is 3 months long.  Who is to say that SEC fans don't just subscribe for those 3 months and then cancel service for the rest of the year?
