ACCN success?

Harsh article....I think there is still hope, but I do agree that if FSU fans can't watch FSU in the state of Florida.  That is a fail.

ACC fans that don't understand that, don't understand what is happening.

That said, there is still 2 weeks to go.  Should be interesting.

The ACC Network has been talked about now for over three years since its launch was announced and still doesn’t have several major carriers on board.

Since July of 2016, folks in the ACC have been talking about their upcoming cable network that has been plugged in as one that is going to revolutionize the way the league and its sports are covered – while, at the same time, keeping the league hostage under the watchful eye of the cable partner helping to put it together, ESPN.
With the kickoff of the ACC Network now just one week away, many people who still have cable boxes plugged into their walls from places like Miami to Tampa to even Tallahassee all have one thing in common: their major cable providers won’t be showing the ACC Network when it kicks off coverage on August 22nd.
Even with three years – not months, but years – to get this whole thing rolling so that it looked seamless at the end, the ACC has continued to show why it may be one of the biggest conferences nationally in terms of team numbers and locations, but still has much to work on when it comes to getting the job done.
In South Florida for example, major providers like Comcast – which, in full disclosure, is my cable provider – have not signed on as of today and it doesn’t look promising at this point. 
Yet, three years later, we have school officials trying to clean up what appears to be an inevitable disaster when it comes to fans not being able to watch it in markets where schools play in the conference – showing once again the ineptness of those in charge.
