The way I read this, is that there will be carriage fees for the

content, not much differently than get now - the different being that the content not scheduled on the linear networks, also carry fees. That includes EASP+. The ACCN would be getting double fees, from the traditional cable providers, and the new streaming platform. ALL ACC games can now be broadcast nationally. Keep in mind, one of the legs to this is customer data. By streaming the sports content through their own service, they now receive the customer data that the third party providers currently get. It's not talked about, but it's a big deal when selling advertising.
