How will the ACC agreement with EPSN for the sale of all Tier 3 rights affect Syracuse fans?  Specifically regarding all the content Time Warner televises from home Syracuse homes.  The unpopular home men's basketball games, the women's home basketball games, home games for SU lacrosse, softball, soccer, crew, volleyball, tennis, etc?
 
My understanding is that ESPN will have the rights for all home SU athletic events, and they can either broadcast them on one of their stations (or ESPN3), or produce a broadcast/sell it to the highest bidder who wants to televise it (typically locally/through NYS) or not produce a broadcast and collect a rights fee if someone else wants to televise an event and is willing to produce it themselves.
 
We won't have broadcasts of every SU athletic event, but the ones ESPN will do will be available throughout the country.  Time Warner/other groups can bid on and televise the dregs ESPN does not want. 
 
In addition, there will be an equivalent of the Big East game of the week type package that Time Warner has typically picked up that focuses on the ACC, along with a This Week in the ACC show, etc.  True?
