Once a game is over and I know the score and who won and lost, I have no interest in watching it.  I've DVR'd many UCONN games, stumbled upon the score before watching, then immediately deleted from my DVR queue.

That's why year-round programming is vital to any conference network.  An ACCN would lag behind others during football season but would be a hot commodity for basketball.  That's probably the reason why there aren't plans yet for an ACCN as regular season basketball games don't drive the same type of ratings as regular season football.  If bundled with the SECN, it makes some sense.  SEC football and ACC basketball - the best of both worlds.

UCONN offers more value to the BTN than any proposed idea of an ACCN.  B1G hoops could really use the immediate boost it would get from a program as elite as UCONN.  Winter live programming content would improve.  The B1G hoops fan might not be interested in watching Nebraska vs. Iowa but if UCONN played either, they might tune in.  But to get there, UCONN football must first be at least competitive.
