My "obsession" with it is we aren't pocketing the money we were before and the content isn't anywhere near available as it was before.

Now tell me how this is good for Clemson.

Now that's nice, and none of that "Tier 3" kook crap has a darn thing to do with this ACC Digital Network stuff.

What was the contract value that you received from IMG, your property management partner since 2001, before and after this sell off of Tier 3 content? TV broadcast rights of "tier 3" athletic contests are typically a very minor component. You also have to know the value these rights added to the ESPN contract and what proportion would be returned to Clemson from that to compare fairly. No one does without intimate familiarity with the contracts knows that, I should say, except the claims of Dude-like kooks who just make up utter nonsense.

What I do know is that ESPN is broadcasting 15 regular season Clemson baseball games on ESPN3 and ESPNU.

Typically, when people start talking about "tier 3" it puts them in major WVU kook territory.

Funny you want to talk about tier 3 being minor. What is minor is a Pitt football attendance, or the money Pitt brings to the ACC, or the value of the Pitt athletic program.


Your mindset helped kill the Big East....the 'only basketball matters' mindset will also kill the ACC.


You are just too stupid to understand. It is about football and your schools isn't a player. Shut your mouth and enjoy your handout while you get it.

Ten posts here and you say this stuff?

He's a follower of War Chant, the major morons that were pushing Big 12 membership because of supposed Tier 3 gazillions. Many of them follow Dude-logic, and believe it, which is all you need to know. Their party line tends to be about how FSU is so poor due to the ACC that it can't compete with UF. What a bunch of absolute ignorant bull ****.

Yeah, Warchant is the worst place in the Internet.
