Message: [QUOTE="Todd Gack, post: 1099737, member: 869"] Listened to it earlier -- basic thrust: won't materialize for 3-5 years and that's okay. You can't ask subscribers to pay $1.25 for the SEC Network and then shortly thereafter say, "Now we need you to pay for the ACC Network." Also said it'd help to have the SEC grease the skids, so that when/if (there might be a better way to go in a few years) it launches it's done right: talked about how in the 2nd year of the Big 10 Network you were still watching softball games with cameras aimed through chained-linked fences, and how the SEC needs to answer the "What do you show between May and July?" question. He also talked about the strength of the ACC's syndication deals (better than the SEC's), but also it's trickier 3rd tier issues. In short he stated that Swofford/ACC know what they're doing. [/QUOTE]
