Whether it's broken or not is up for debate, but even so, the solution sounds worse than the problem. Cable subscribers (at least right now) far outnumber internet streamers. My cable company (TW) was acquired, but at least for now, it advertises itself as "The Home Of Syracuse University Athletics". If not for that, I'd be getting direct TV. I think many SU fans (and other ACC fans) feel the same way. They want their content and the best way to get QUALITY broadcasts is through cable TV.
I don't see any advantage to a separate subscription fee JUST FOR the ACC? That's ridiculous, since B1G and other conferences are getting college FB/BB games as part of their cable subscriptions. So ESPN wants ACC fans to pay a separate fee? Thanks but no thanks. Pretty sure Wildhack would not support that kind of arrangement.
The linear cable TV channel model is not broken. Millions of fans pay cable subscriptions for the right to see their teams play. What's broken is unnecessary middlemen like Raycom, skimming off the top and getting in between the ACC and ESPN, and selling off 2d/3dT games to idiots like Fox that use SU games as bait for MSG3.
