Since ACC meeting are going on today and tomorrow, figured to start a thread. Big point of discussion this year/today has been the ACC network. Good read below:

Main points:
- Carriage deals are a 2 to 3 year process due to the staggered nature of some of the larger carriers. SEC network was on a cycle where a lot of them came up at the same time. This is one reason why the ACC/ESPN waited until 2019, as the cycle would be starting now and work in a condensed windo
- That said, Swofford said that the ACC/ESPN are ahead of projections on the number of carriers that have already signed on in Year 1
- More carriers can still sign on, especially in the ACC footprint prior to their contract opening up. Key is putting pressure on our carriers
- Regardless, network should be strong and projections as stated in previous articles from different schools board meetings should be fully implemented in year 3.
- Released a lot of new shows, announcers, and videos, etc.
Should be exciting if you are a fan of an ACC school.
