Last Sentence is very important point.


“We are putting our dollars on the ESPN horse in this race, knowing they have motivation to go out and monetize this right they have already purchased.”

The Anti-ACC Twitter Crowd who keep saying that ESPN isn't going to start an ACC Network because they aren't going to spend more money on rights they already own totally miss the point. This sentence is the point. ESPN wants to do the network because they can make more revenue on rights they already are paying for.

The key here is timing. It's important to know that ESPN starts its renegotiation with cable providers in 2018.
