It's still going to be driven by subscribers

Whether it's cable subscribers or streaming service subscribers it all comes down to driving up the number of subscribers. But you're correct in that traditionally it has been cable subscribers and the largest television markets drive the most subscribers. When you pivot to Amazon Prime, Apple TV, etc. it becomes national brand that drives the subscribers. Given that the ACC still needs to drive cable subscribers to our cable channel with ESPN, you'd still want to get populous states that we don't currently have. For the ACC that's California, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Washington, and Arizona.

HokieAl • 07/08/22 04:48 PM ET
Not pushing Baylor, just picked them out of Tx. People in Tx. Would argue

If you "shred the GOR" (no idea how though), schools will leave....

I'm trying to sell a dream Freddy. Look past the rundown fixer upper
HokieAl • 07/08/22 05:08 PM ET
Should be able to keep GOR intact and add schools, although that may be

I would try my hardest to lawyer up and keep the ACC intact, math isnt hard

No thanks Al, BTW did you watch video with John Skipper former ESPN Prez?
Stech • 07/08/22 01:58 PM ET
That was well worth the listen.**

Rice? I thought the ACC should have looked at Houston. Rice is great
dallasvt • 07/08/22 03:04 PM ET
Yeah, Houston’s got way more upside than Rice.**

I don't see ND to ACC ever happening
HokieAl • 07/08/22 02:11 PM ET
That will reduce revenue**
133743Hokie • 07/08/22 07:35 PM ET
Why? To earn less money per team? Not to mention increase expenses. Pass **
133743Hokie • 07/08/22 01:48 PM ET
The money is unknown, that is the point
HokieAl • 07/08/22 01:55 PM ET
BigXII and PAC12 had smaller contracts than the ACC. How do their leftovers
133743Hokie • 07/08/22 07:38 PM ET
There is no team on the list of Big12 teams you show that adds revenue

Markets are not as important as the past. Marketing and matchups are

If you tear up the GoR, the most valuable teams will leave for SEC and B1G
tarheelblue • 07/08/22 02:01 PM ET
The money is known. Big 10 and SEC are getting it. No one else is
vtka93 • 07/08/22 01:59 PM ET
Also, this gets you FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, PA, OH, KY, KS, TX, OK, IA, WV
