Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 1536498, member: 683"] For the ACC to get their Network...their Tier 2 rights need to be bought back from Raycom...no way in this day and age ESPN is going to pay to produce the programming...buy the rights back from Raycom ...then pay the ACC more money for a ACC Network. This is the reason it hasn't been done so far..and with ESPN in major cost cutting right now, it won't be done anytime soon either. Stafford basically sold his schools an empty bill of goods about a conference network, and screwed them over when he sold the media rights to Raycom (which also employs his son). This problem has been well documented the past 18 months. [URL]http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/05/20/Media/ACC-net.aspx[/URL] [/QUOTE]
