We’re as interested in the future of the ACC as anyone. The issues are clear. The ACC needs a better football product, and no, that doesn’t mean being the SEC. That does mean not losing 12 straight bowl games from 2019-2021. There’s a revenue gap between the SEC and Big 10. Revenue generation is a …

On July 4th, I wrote that if you believe ESPN and FOX are driving conference expansion that ESPN has several reasons to keep the ACC viable. I estimated that the ACC Network was making ESPN quite the profit. ESPN is making in the neighborhood of $75 Million – $100 Million at least, and that is …
