Logically, on Saturdays, ACCN replaces Raycom...(also, think basketball)


Raycom's contract with the ACC is over (FINALLY). So I would assume that live football on ACCN would be somewhere down the food chain after ESPN/2/U etc had passed on a particular game kind of like Raycom and Fox Sports. So no, only a few VT games will be on the live channel.

The ACCN is little brother to ESPN, this is how the ACCN was able to leverage itself into cable provider packages. It would have been a no-go without ESPN.

Its not obvious to me why this would impact season ticket sales in any way. I don't think we will get "more" VT football games televised. They pretty much are all televised in some form or another anyway.

When you think ACCN, think basketball. This is the area where the conference can finally double down on its dominance in the sport and in major east coast markets. There has been strong indication the ACC schedule will be expanded to 20 games to provide more content for the ACCN.
