One other thing is worth saying: I do believe there will be a 24/7 ACC [I]cable channel[/I] eventually. Presently we have a syndicated ACC [I]broadcast[/I] network which has local carriage on cable channels in those cities and I have seen almost every state except Alaska on the broadcast list. This "ACC Network" includes football and men's basketball, mostly. Now if the cable/satellite TV market continues to contract, it will not only affect the amount of money the ACC could get from a cable channel but also the SEC and "Big 10" cable channels as renewals will provide much less $$, and I think the Longhorn network will be cancelled outright unless it is changed to a "Big 12" network. It is clear that ESPN overpaid for some of their properties (including $15 billion for 8 years of NFL Monday Night Football when there were no other bidders from what I have read). Also, I think John Swofford has asked all ACC schools not to comment on an ACC cable channel - partly to avoid the turmoil that you are beginning to see in the "Big 12".
