...I think there are elements of most fan bases that are less than thrilled with the current economics, or else there wouldn't be so much ACC Network speculation and agita on every board, which there is. But you've also got an element of there being little you can do. People are only going to spend so much hand wringing on a subject where there's little that can be done...

BINGO. That is how I feel. The ACC TV contract stinks. The Orange Bowl contract stinks. The coverage by ESPN stinks. However, these things are all water under the bridge, and there's so little that can be done in the short term that I'm just tired to discussing them.

More than that, I'm tired of reading / hearing complaints which offer absolutely no solutions whatsoever. I can see the problem - now tell me how to fix it or leave it alone!

JMO though.

I get you and Lou feel that way.

I would recommend.....logically, you both stay out of these threads. You both visit them regularly but don't like the topic.

Just saying (personally think you are both great posters and you score HIGH to me in your opinions....but makes no sense).

Primarily because most of the fans you run into are in one of two groups:

A. Fans of the schools rescued from the Big East

or

B. Fans of the basketball first old-time ACC schools who foolishly think that the revenue gap isn't going to have any effect on hoops.

As evidenced by the majority of the posts on this board the ACC could box up a steaming pile of elephant dung and both groups would fall all over themselves to heap praise on it. Witness the Swofford love with the "Ninja" meme. Sadly, what they saw as this:

has actually turned out to be this:

But you'll never get one of the lickspittles to admit it.

But nothing that anyone can do about it now. At least not on this board. So why keep sounding like a broken record and crying the same old tired song at every opportunity? Just because other don't share in the whining doesn't mean that we don't realize that the ACC has some real issues to conquer.


Translation = We are fine with 976,846,725 posts that are the equivalent of ball-cupping the ACC for even the most insignificant level of progress but God forbid anybody say anything negative about the ACC/

Less discussion of reality and more of this:

Got it.

RE: ACC Network
The PAC 12 is bringing the members individual digital rights under their umbrella as they expire. How much would it cost for Clemson to buy out of their Learfield Sports contract?

RE: ACC Network
I won't comment on a network, but I will say I think ACC football strength is about to spike up in a big way

If Miami gets going it will be huge....I think Louisville and North Carolina are getting better as well. Add that to elite FSU and Clemson, and the ACC is about to boom

Conference strength is cyclical...look at the SEC East...they are slipping into abyssmal despite making all that money

I was just looking for some info and found this old thread from 2 years ago. Looks like EvilVodka nailed it with his comments judging from the fb season that just ended.
