The PAC Networks, in some respects, is the best comparison to an ACC Network.   The PAC and ACC have the best non-revenue sports programs of any conferences in the country.  I have no idea how much the PAC Network shows Olympic sports because DirecTV does not put any value on it and I do not get the channel.  It is no surprise that the two conference channels picked up by DirecTV are those with large football followings (notice I did not say good football, rather large football followings).

Therein lies the problem for ACC football that I am not sure would be fixed by the reemergence of historical powers.  Keep in mind that the ACC Network will be receiving third tier games.  So, if Miami is able to regain its swagger it will be on ESPN not the ACC network.  What it needs is for the following of a team to tune in or for other ACC team fans to tune in.

ACC Basketball is great, but talks of it being as valuable as SEC football is doesn't pass the smell test.  If great basketball could carry a network, the BE would have been offered a significant network deal and we all know how that worked out.
