@JoeMcMurphy Want me to tell you what the B12 will say?

Joe McMurphy ‏@JoeMcMurphy · 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Ha. No expansion for 7-10 years. Happy at 10 - no viable candidate that moves the money needle available. Heard it all before.

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @JoeMcMurphy Serious ? for you. Aren't you tired of the rumors that never pan out? At least 4 rounds of B12 exp rumors that never hit.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@JoeMcMurphy lots of mixed messages this week. Lots of back & forth. I was basically told to shut up.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago

@flugempire hearing acc will receive 50% of ad revenue for first five years and will get 10% vested each year for first 5 years ownership

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting here. I have been visiting the website off and on for about a year or two. Good discussions take place.

The reason I am stopping by this morning is to let you guys know that it would be 99.99% wise to not believe anything MHver3 said on Twitter last night. First off, he tweeted about high school games being played on a college conference network. The NCAA has already banned that.

Proof: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1602&context=sportslaw

Thus, no source at ESPN would be leaking information about something that the NCAA has already banned when ESPN already knows about the banning from their previous contract with the LHN.

That doesn't raise the red flag for you for anything he posts on Twitter, then there isn't anything that I can do to help you so you don't get false hope.

MHver3 was called out on Twitter in the past for being a fake wannabe West Virginia insider that is 35 years old and lives in a tiny town in West Virginia.

Just don't want you all to get false hopes since Fox owns part of the ACC Tier 3 rights and they sure are not going to sell it off to allow ESPN to build another network.
 
When ever those a s sclowns MH3 or the Dude post on twitter the only thing it leads me to believe is that they are either:
A) Taste testing a batch of moonshine they just made
or
B) Smoking K2 again

Plausible that that's the best they could get in-market -- even that is optimistic. Also they cover at most 20% of the country, so maybe 18 mn cable homes. At $0.45 that would be $97 mn annual revenue, split 50-50 with ESPN and divided 15 ways is $3.2 mn per school. Add out-of-market subscriptions at a much reduced rate, ad and streaming revenue on top, say $4 mn per school.

If .45 is the best they can do in ACC territory, then consider that the state of Connecticut could place the ACCN on basic cable and charge $1.35 to each subscriber. In other words, just multiply the 1.3m TV homes by 3 to get a sense of the impact of Connecticut, and for that matter, multiply the population of 3.6m by 3 too in order to compare purchasing power to ACC land.

Yeah. If they want a network, they screwed up royally. Their approach to realignment showed a major lack of strategic planning.
 
The ACC wants to market itself as a big boy in college football but as a whole they have fan bases that seriously lack the commitment you will find in the SEC, Big 12, Big 12 and PAC. They are never going to pay for a new product (ACCN) when they can already get most of the content they care about for a nominal charge with their cable subscriptions on ESPN. I think though that it was more ESPN and their planning ahead to screw the ACC long term (along with Uconn) since they already had them by the short and curlies with basketball.

Just wanted to pass on what people should know is all. ESPN use to be in over 100 million homes and will be below the 90 million mark this month. So there is 100% noway that a new conference network would reach 90 million homes. As I noted in a post prior, he went to Google and read the article and made up a bunch of crap to make himself looking like an insider even though he isn't.
 
Well I think the Dood might be right (by pure chance) about no moves for 7-10 years IF OU and UT remain in a detente and the B12 starts getting teams in the CFP. Which might be helped by CCG deregulation. Big if.

If OU is as unhappy as they are making out to be, the next scenario is B12 adding 2 out of UH, UCF, BYU, UC and then standing pat.
 
I see where the 90 million figure is coming from...an old ACC press release....someone ran with it without understanding what it means....

Charlotte, N.C. – The ACC Network package of Atlantic Coast Conference football games syndicated by Raycom Sports will be available to nearly 80% of the United States this fall, covering over 90 million TV Households. This includes all Top Ten TV markets in the U.S., and 21 of the Top 25. Only ESPN and ESPN2 reach more households, among all sports networks.

Actually ESPN is still in 95 million homes. That said, there are two different figures that are used, which causes confusion: how many homes they're *available* in and how many actually subscribe. ESPN is available in 99 of the 114 million homes. It's actually accessed by about 94-95 million.

When a release was put out claiming 90 million homes, that was essentially the number available, if the network launched. That said, that's a hugely overstated figure for the first year since it's implying that 90% of carriers will reach an agreement before launch... that wouldn't happen.

I don't think anyone here is taking MH'er seriously anyhow.

LOL - that's a hilarious way to spin it.

Also somewhat funny - some of that 20% was parts of CT. I didn't get them except through their website.
 
Basically, the ACC Network, such as it is, is available to anyone with a Roku, Apple TV or, I guess, a computer.

The revenue it generates is likely somewhere near zero.

I'd also like to take this time to announce that the Boneyard is now available to almost 3.2 billion people worldwide.

Suck it, Swoffie.
 
If they are talking about the 'ACC network' on ESPN3 that's even funnier. That's just really a fancy term for bookmarks.

Not necessarily better or worse. Just different.

Everyone following this thread may qualify for medical marijuana since they now suffer PTSD (or have exacerbated symptoms already present).

I think that streaming is coming on...I stream quite a bit on comcast.

"• WatchESPN and ESPN3 averaged 1.1 billion minutes per month with live and replay events across all platforms in 2014, up 132%. (source: Omniture, Jan-Nov)

Yeah you can get people to stream when it's free. Call me when the ACC gets monetized in that fashion.

I'm sure that's why the ACC has a YouTube network and not, you know, a real one.
