Post: #1ACC May Increase Number Of Conference Games for Network Inventory (Teel Article)

No link...just rumblings from Dawgfans "in the know" that if the SEC goes to 9 games, they will have to either drop the Jacksonville game with Florida or drop us.

Or move the Florida games back in campus.
 
NC State AD Debbie Yow on an ACC Network:

Any new updates on the ACC Network?


“I’ve always been bullish on the ACC Network, even though I don’t know anything specifically about when it could happen. Nothing about that has changed.

“I do believe it is going to happen. I know there is a lot of publicity with the Big Ten and SEC networks. Ours is coming.

“You need two things: more visibility for everybody, especially the Olympic sports, and more money. With the kind of money that the SEC schools and Big Ten schools are making, it would bode well for us to have an operational, linear network and begin to see what kind of distribution and money we can get for that.

“I will tell you this, there is another construction project and it’s a broadcast studio for the ACC Network. That would tell you I am very bullish on the ACC Network.

“This will be housed inside of the Murphy Center because we actually have space in there. When Chuck Amato was our coach and the Murphy Center was built, they built a racquetball court, which is now used to store stuff.

“We can reconfigure that area into an amazing studio and stay inside the envelope of the current building. We have to do that and buy the HD cameras.

“We brought the HD cameras and equipment we needed for Reynolds, which will have a control room right away. Whenever the ACC Network becomes a reality, we’ll need more HD cameras and other equipment over in the Murphy Center. That project is $6 million, and athletics is carrying that.

“I’m not asking the Wolfpack Club staff to fund raise for that. We haven’t started any construction yet, so we have time to figure it out.”

Are there every any concerns about the impact of cable-cord cutters?

“Not really. They have two sources of revenue: subscription rates and advertising. ESPN has experience in this. I think when you partner with them you should feel secure in the future.

“They will figure it out. They know how to make money.”

I believe this makes the fourth ACC school to get studios set up on campus... I think even the most negative nelly has to admit that a network is coming...

Is this one of the idiot Yow sisters who ran Maryland broke?
 
How much additional inventory would a 9-game schedule really create? The answer: 1 game per team every other year, or 7 more games total each year. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but how much do you think an extra Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, VT, GT or Miami game is worth to the league?

Has anyone seen what games are on the BIG Network or SEC Network... They are not all Ohio State and Bama??

Oh while we are talking Football only the ESPN and the ACC is also talking about a 20 game Bball Conf schedule... Again INVENTORY!!

I've heard there's a chance that extra game would be another permanent rival. So if you're getting a GT vs FSU, Clem vs VT, and other attractive permanent options, it could be worth quite a bit.
