ACC Network picking up steam
Summary:
- Clemson AD Dan Radakovich interviewed for the story
- "The ACC Network, according to Radakovich, is the first thing ACC Commissioner John Swofford thinks about when he goes into his Greensboro, N.C. office every day. Talk of a conference network will be one of the hot button items on the agenda when the league’s athletic directors get together in Amelia Island, Fla., for their annual spring meetings in a couple of weeks."
- He doesn't think that they'd catch up to Big Ten but can come close with network in place
- Says that contracts with MSOs are reasons for delay
- Sees something worked out with providers in 2018, 2019 and 2020
- Says people would want to access content in other ways even with cord cutting
- Expresses confidence in ESPN as a partner to monetize the content they've purchased
