- Noting Big Ten & SEC Networks are rolling in cash now. SEC Network will launch Aug. 14 in 90 million + homes.
- Mentions BTN was not a profitable venture in the beginning.
- SEC Network is setting the course for the ACC. ACC has the best commercial broadcast syndication deal (Raycom) in all of college sports. Which is why they have been wait and see.
- When SEC had Raycom deal, wasn't distributed nearly as well as ACC was/is.
- ACC fans are asking why not now, why not us? Reality is ACC is in same line as SEC. SEC is going to launch to 90 million subscribers. It's not good business for ESPN to turn right around after SEC Network is launched and say "Oh, wait, ACC Network is coming in 6 months, need more money." ACC has more connected deals (Fox Sports, Raycom, ESPN) - they need to be ironed out. May turn out that it's better to use something different than what they're using for the SEC Network launch that they haven't thought of in 3-5 years.
- By launching SEC Network, what changes will be made to current relationships with media outlets?
