Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 1437122, member: 5312"] I read with interest an interview with ACC Commissioner Swofford recently. He mentioned that if the ACC Cable Channel ultimately does not appear feasible they will look to get "increased rights fees". Currently too the ACC pays each school $2 million extra for every year there is no ACC Cable Channel I have read elsewhere.

While I am a "cord cutter", there are also "cord shavers" (reduced services) and I am also looking forward to the "a la carte model" so one would not have to pay for the BTN and SEC channels, which as a fan of the ACC I have absolutely no interest in supporting.
