The schools either already had all/most of the infrastructure

in place, started working on it prior to announcement, or had the money to get the job done quickly. If it was the first, then it kinda makes the SEC schools look like geniuses for having that vision. If it was the second, then why didn't ESPN do the same thing with the ACC schools (assuming the ACC schools didn't push back). If it was the third, then the ACC only has themselves to blame.

What ESPN channel will Altice drop? ESPN Classic? ** -- moonda 10/03/2017 08:09AM

ESPN Classic. It's omitted from the press release. -- HOO86 10/05/2017 6:16PM

It didn't say. I would guess ESPN News. But it didn't say. ** -- HOO86 10/03/2017 10:24AM

If others end up dropping ESPN Classic or ESPN News -- VTHokie2000 10/03/2017 12:11PM

IMO, espn should have re-purposed espnnews channel in the 1st place. -- Atlee Hokie 10/05/2017 07:56AM

That makes way too much sense, so it will never work *TIC* ** -- VTHokie2000 10/05/2017 10:59AM

You mean get something in place before 2019? Crazy talk! ** -- reestuart 10/05/2017 08:26AM

ACC Network Extra is doing that. -- HOO86 10/06/2017 10:59AM

Can't see that as being a cost saver -- mrcaniac 10/06/2017 12:44PM

The schools would have to accelerate their equipment & production schedules -- EDGEMAN 10/05/2017 4:58PM

Thats why 2019, is the target -- Mercury 10/07/2017 4:38PM
