I was expecting more than a hype video & a repeat of a tweet or an article. Our local ESPN radio affiliate set aside an hour for the announcement, it was over in 20 minutes. Disappointed, expecting more.

Did you honestly expect the full financial details(which are probably impossible to be 100% certain of right now)? Not sure, but I doubt the SEC came out day one and said all of the revenues it would generate. Don't be like the usual suspects on this board who do nothing but complain.

Full financial details, no, but I was expecting some projections, possibly in some Q&A after. How was the current TV deal affected by the extension? Why 2019? Is ESPN converting a current channel like ESPNews? I was expecting some questions to be answered. If Maybin was prepared to give up the first hour of his ESPN radio show then I suspect that they were expecting more as well. The only new details that we learned are the 20 bball games & that ESPN execs kids attend a conference member school when ESPN starts a new network for that conference. I was expecting some sort of a bang & all we got was a whimper.

Read somewhere today that the ACC'/Espn deal with Raycom runs out around 2019 which means they would not have to buy back those rights from Raycom.

It runs out because ESPN ends syndication of ACC content in 2019. I'm pretty sure that was the deal. If you syndicate the ACC, do it through Raycom. That is the "out".

I wouldn't be surprised if Raycome carved out another niche n this deal. All the while, not hurting the ACC.
