Wes Durham "Voice of the ACC" on the ACC Network
http://www.wralsportsfan.com/colleges/audio/15254519/
*Shock of SEC's recent tax document released and their revenue 60% increase.
*There will be NO ACC NETWORK.
*No Network is a huge recruiting disadvantage and coaches will have an issue.
*ACC must have an answer on network in 'very near future.'
*Believes ESPN pays $3 Million per team to not have a network ($45 Million to ACC).
*Major issue is prestige and exposure that networks bring.
*FSU and Clemson will make the most noise (ACC media was very pissy about this).
*Believes conferences will head to 16 teams (NO explanation of how this helps the ACC.....of course, logic was ignored).
*Believes no network will hasten expansion. 2020 could be year when playoff is expanded.
*Football is key (again, ACC folks were annoyed).
*Coaches are going to howl about lack of network and impact on recruiting is real.
*No real talk about Notre Dame......because they aren't joining.
*The rest is basketball.
