#ESPN's Skipper on #ACCNetwork: "We will be consistently obfuscatory about what the financials of this arrangement are." #ACCKickoff

ACC Network won't have any trouble getting carriage. Guarantee the February 2020 UNC-Duke game will air on ACCN. Worked for ESPN2.

The ACC should also have two Notre Dame football games it can move to ACCN in 2019. Plus ESPN negotiating muscle. Won't be an issue.

1-on-1 w/Swoff: Says Notre Dame will receive full share of #ACCNetwork revenue, as opposed to the 1/5 share it gets from overall rights.

ESPN is not taking over the ACC's website as part of the network deal, so that may remain an unwieldy mess. Disappointing.

Ultimate Q surrounding ACC Network - its profitability and availability - won't be known for quite some time. Still three years from launch.

Jon Solomon ‏@JonSolomonCBS 26m26 minutes ago

ESPN president John Skipper: ESPN will fully own ACC Network and it will get its own channel, not inherit ESPNU or ESPNews.

RE: ’19 launch of ACC Network. All parties involved say it won’t be flipped from ESPNU or ESPNN. I remain a healthy skeptic on the matter.

Also of note: Not a single bit of financial information. Doubt they’ll be forthcoming in the breakout session.

The announcement of ACC Network marks end of an era at Media Days, but another tradition lives on: awful WiFi.

 

 

Andrew Carter ‏@_andrewcarter 1h1 hour ago

ACC's grant of rights was announced on April 22, 2013. Between now and then: 1,186 days. How long this took to get to this point.

In all seriousness, the ACC Network's success will be dependent on FSU continuing its dominance in football. No other sport gets more eyes.

Swofford: The Grant of Rights has been signed by all 15 schools for the duration of the deal with ESPN.

ESPN President John Skipper: "We are proud to be the ACC's partner". Right after he does the tomahawk chop.
