$28 million per team?!?! Still amazed FSU fan base doesn't talk about this issue. They are still under the delusion it doesn't matter. They are wrong.
Man, the ACC is about to get hammered. My guess it's response will be, FSU just has to win a national title every year against SEC schools with double the revenue for the ACC to make it....that is all.
Not good.
FSU BOT was sold by Swofford that the network would happen....now we are getting less than certain statements. FSU BOT has way to many knuckleheads in that group. Not the brightest bunch.
I do think a network happens, but it will be something extremely watered down like games on youtube with no revenue or something like that.

Virginia Tech's Babcock talks ACC channel, fan experience, football ticket sales
"Fans often ask me when they can expect the ACC to launch such a project, and Babcock said he expects a yes-or-no decision within 18 months.
“That SEC Network is really impressive,” he said. “I believe even before they launched they had more households than ESPNU. … I think in some respects we need to root for the SEC Network to do well because ESPN will have the template and we can follow it in 2016. If the SEC Network did flop for some reason, I don’t know that ESPN would jump in and try (again).”
Babcock is right. After reaching a distribution agreement with DirecTV, the SEC Network is available in 87 million homes, 12 million more than ESPNU. Moreover, posting on Nasdaq.com, the Motley Fool theorizes that the SEC Network could net $400 million annually, about $28 million for each of the league’s 14 schools.
Virginia Tech’s share of ACC revenue in 2012-13 was $18.3 million.
“I’m envious of the SEC Network,” Babcock said, “but in some ways, maybe it’s a silver lining for the ACC moving forward.”
