ACC considering 24-hour TV network

ye$ plea$e

Delaney and the B1G get a lot of flack (much of it deserved), but they got it right with the BTN.

ACC benefiting from ND's arrival before they even get there. All this and we still have NBC, maybe this is where you will be watching our away games, lol.

I'm seriously not hating on the ACC, but do they still not sell out their Championship Game? I would think they might want to shore that up, before getting a network?

Good point, JK. Otherwise the fans will be content to sit and watch all the ACC games in the comfort of their living rooms.

Well, it depends on what they want. If they want to make their games a "TV experience" and make all their money that way, then maybe that is the way to go.

I'd go to the SEC CG and the BCS CG, if it wasn't so expensive, but they sell out, so there is no incentive to make them cheaper.

I thought it was just a bunch of fans that showed up dressed as empty seats.

The 2012 ACC attendance figures don't appear to be in yet, but the football programs seemed to hold their won. It's the dropoff in basketball attendance that's alarming to ACC officials.

And maybe that's where they make the money on a network is basketball. Possible, I guess.

The 12 PAC has an 24 hour network and it's great!!!

Alabama just picked up another top recruit Tim Williams from Louisiana!!!

And another top recruit just decommitted from auburn!! Might be going to Alabama!

Look up the attendance records. The ACC (on announced ticket sales, if not butts in the seat) CG is behind only the SEC CG in the last two years (only ones for P12 and B10):

Conf - 2011 attend - 2012 attend
1. SEC: 74k, 75k
2. ACC: 73k, 64k
3. B10: 64k, 41k
4. P12: 59k, 31k

The ACC is also #3 in FB viewership, and #2 in bball viewership. It's the best overall conference, with 3-4 teams typically in the final Director's Cup standings, and the best academic/undergraduate conference, with 7 schools in the Top 50 (the most of any major conference).

Oh, and it has the largest population in its footprint, about 10 million more than the next most populous footprint (the SEC, with TX, FL and GA) and the second most 4-5* rated athletes.

The ACC is a great conference. Just not in FB right now.

However, I don't expect much to come of this. The ACC dropped the ball in the last round of TV contracts, giving almost EVERYTHING to ESPN. Now, it doesn't own enough content for a viable network. It will either have to cut ESPN and Raycom in, or buy back content. Both options decrease profitability.

Plus, the current contracts are for 15 years. Hard to see this being a big deal for the next decade and a half, at least in terms of $$$ for the ACC.
