NFL Network To Air College Games
Quote:The NFL announced Monday that it has reached a four-year media rights deal with Conference USA to televise ten football games per season. NFL Network, which carries the Senior Bowl and previously aired the Insight and Texas bowls, will air the games at 3:30 PM ET on Saturdays. According to Sports Business Daily, NFL Network is replacing beIN Sports as one of the five Conference USA rights partners.
Sports Business Daily also reported that NFL Network is expected to bid on Mountain West media rights that would kick in with the 2020 season. [NFL PR 5.20; Sports Business Daily 5.21]
I can't imagine this affecting ACC revenues directly but any new entrant into college sports broadcasting has to help increase the value of broadcast rights. However, we could have an ACC team on the NFL Network in September. Duke is playing at Middle Tennessee on 9/13.

RE: NFL Network To Air College Games
NFL Network is reportedly also vying to capture a deal with the Mountain West Conference to begin telecasts in 2020. I'll ignore them on NFL Network just like I ignore them today wherever else they are televised/streamed.
