Old? Hell...I'm the 69 that is the new 50. Pump weights three times a week and walk three miles at a quick pace another three days (sometimes with a 30 pound pack).

Not the guy I was about 50 years ago when I was Marine Force Recon ....but I sure don't feel old..

And I am now officially NED...No Evidence of Disease...beat a cancer....that makes me about 40 pounds lighter....

And sure..Juggalos and Noles are brothers...we wear face paint, go whoop, like doing a chop...

You tell em Billy. Marine Force Recon is no joke. My son is a Marine and I met some of those Recon and MARSOC guys at Camp Pendlelton a couple years ago. Those guys were in scary good shape. But more importantly, congrats on being a NED and beating the Big C!

ACC network is going to cost ESPN $200 million to launch. And then cost around $1m per week to run.

MHver3 ‏@MHver3Protected Tweets 3h3 hours ago


ESPN is projecting a $0.50 in market subscriber fee and a $0.08 out of market subscriber fee.

MHver3 ‏@MHver3Protected Tweets 3h3 hours ago


It will take 3 years to show profit.

MHver3 ‏@MHver3Protected Tweets 3h3 hours ago


ESPN is asking ACC to cover 50% of start up and 50% of first year to run.


MHver3 ‏@MHver3Protected Tweets 3h3 hours ago


They want to take it out of ACC TV money and the $45m they would owe them in July.


MHver3 ‏@MHver3Protected Tweets 3h3 hours ago


Which would reduce ACC TV payouts by over a third of current payouts for the upcoming year.

Not exactly what member schools had in mind.
 
$200 million to start the network is absurd. They could flip ESPNNews which serves no purpose for a fraction if they were serious.

Perhaps this is ESPN's way of nudging the ACC to agree to an OTT app (installed on boxes such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire, etc.) to distribute the conference content instead of having a traditional network such as BTN, ESPNNews, etc.

That already exists really with Watch ESPN.

If they don't have any Big Ten - then ESPN is going to need even more ACC games on their networks.
 
The order of things to come:
Step1: B1G or ACC tv deal w/UConn
Step2: B12 watches the sunset as the emergence of either one ends their time in the sun.
Step3: Profit.

There is no future for the B12 if we are picked up by another conference or the ACCtv deal happens. Without UConn, FSU and Clemson, there is nothing for the B12 to do but bide their time waiting for UT to make a home with one of the P4 left. Meanwhile OU lands in the SEC and the lefts overs of the B12 merge with the AAC and Mtn West.

Expanding the ACC by a couple of teams (ND + a school between NYC/Boston), ESPN could keep the big matchups on their primary networks ESPN/2 and move other major sports matchups and Olympic sports to the OTT network, which would be ACC branded - thus keeping their promise to the conference (appeasing FSU?).

I can't tell anymore if stuff like this is serious.

Well, yes and no.

I think those holding the chips in CRA (texas) are waiting on the outcome of the ACCN and the B1Gtv contract before making the next move. And if either of those conferences take UConn as part of their tv build out, then the B12 is dead man walking. Any combination of removing us from the chess board and/or sealing in FSU and Clemson to the ACC puts the B12 in a very compromised place.

ESPN News is a valuable channel for ESPN. It generates ~$180 million of revenues for ESPN for very little production cost. They aren't giving that up for an ACC Network.

Do you know Jim at AOL.com? He also knows a bunch about tv economics too.

5 things Memphis can offer Big 12 that nobody else can. FedEx, BBQ, Beale Street, Graceland and Civil Rights Museum. Lets see UConn top that

... and @Penfield --- "boiled" hamburgers. WTF?

Mark Twain House, New Haven Pizza, NECO beers, all the fortune 500 in Stamford/Hartford

Especially since they have KC.

To be fair, with Texas, KC and Memphis BBQ in the same conference there's already a built-in rivalry. And the possibility for one hell of a road trip!
