ACCN is already in all of the PAC states

The issue is instate subscriber rate vs out of state subscriber rate. The instate rate is about 50 Cents per subscriber per month more for the ACCN. ESPN gets half, so the ACC would get 25 Cents per month. In California, if they have 35 million subscribers, it would men $8.75 million per month to the ACC. But I doubt we take 1 team from California, it would be 2. The other states are lower, but it would mean money for the ACC to add them to the network. And you can see why the Big Ten wanted to be in California for their network. They also targeted big LA Brands to attract Broadcast television.

Im guessing the SECN costs more than the ACCN to carry (could be wrong)

Lets us assume you are correct, ESPN owns part of that problem
LocalExperts 08/11/22 06:55 PM ET
No, ESPN is selling subscriptions at a rate buyers will pay.

I don't know how much I pay for it. Verizon FIOS has it in a bundle

Interestingly, Fox also wanted the LA market for their corporate owned

Seems low, but going with that.

You add the Pac-10, you just added 10 more mouths to feed

Let’s do math then, EDGEMAN!
hokieZ71 08/11/22 06:40 PM ET
The B1X gets more money per subscriber, and it doesn't make sense to them
EDGEMAN 08/11/22 08:34 PM ET
Carrage fees in Cal with yhe University of California in the fold. Maybe?**

The ACCN is a money maker.

I have no clue what he’s done.

I think we must be working on this.
