Correct...
This was [B]not a surprise to either ACC or ESPN.[/B]...note that the ESPN $$$ for upping the TV rights for ACC came first...and the thought this could be the case with ND going to NBC...so the following was based on NBC getting the ND home contract:
...remember that the projection for Notre Dame dollar increase to ACC was going to be between $1-$2 million per team...it was based on 5 or 6 games...the 3-2 or 2-3 games considered ACC home games will be paid for by ESPN and would easily be played/replayed on an ACC Network...TV rights belong to ESPN and or ESPN/ACC network.  
What is of note, is that the ACC contract with ESPN ends in 2025; Notre Dame contract ends with NBC in 2025 and the New BCS contract comes up again in 2025...[B]it appears to be a date of demarcation[/B]...Notre Dame is in as an associate of ACC and is proving it is willing to keep its 5 game a year schedule...all other sports sans hockey are in the ACC...all these sports will be part of the ACC TV contract...and therefore could be available for the ACC Network.  I hold strong that the network will come to fruition.
