Clemson and FSwho are really pushing it, I think it gets done in the next year or two

Hopefully soon we'll have games worth re-broadcasting.

We desperately need that additional money to keep up. SEC and B10 will have a few years of additional money on us but we can get back in the game quickly

I'm assuming you guys don't want it considering how much you despise the SEC Network and what it stands for.

The SEC Network stands for preferential treatment. If more leagues have their own networks, then there is less possibility for preferential treatment.

The quality of football better improve dramatically in the ACC if they want equal treatment.

There already is a channel dedicated to ACC sports.

It's half-assed, though. And not national.

Yes, the ACC network is coming soon. Not sure if this flew under the radar to most, but Wildhack just got the AD job at Syracuse. Wildhack was like the number 3 at espn. Lulz

My guess is, it'll be something like the SEC network, but not necessarily treated equivalent to them in a football sense.
The major focus will be football & basketball, Duke/UNC/Louisville/Syracuse/Miami basketball will be a heavy feature & Clemson/FSU/Miami/Louisville/UNC football will also be a focal point.
Will we get a channel like the SEC network has, Idk who's to say? But, we'll definitely have an online streaming presence for our games, which is a good thing depending on how you look at it.
The ACC makes a lot of money, we actually generate more revenue than the PAC & Big XII, I think we're neck & neck with the B14, but behind the SEC.
Ultimately, this will be great overall for the conference & for us as a program, ESPN owns the rights to the ACC until 2026-27, so we really don't have any alternative.
Plus, we'll get more Hurricane baseball & probably a lot more ACC women's volleyball, which is fantastic! Lol.

ESPN gives the SEC at least something like 3-4 dedicated available channels, especially on football weekends.
