Our good friend, @_EthanMoore at @LvilleSprtsLive hosted @WesDurham (from @RaycomSports) on their radio show this week – you can hear the Louisville Sports Live radio show on @939TheVille.
Wes Durham told the Louisville Sports Live crew that there is a clause in ESPN’s contract with the ACC that requires ESPN to provide $45 million dollars to the ACC if a network is not established by July 1, 2016 (this works out to an extra $3 million per ACC institution). While this is not SEC or Big Ten money, it is additional revenue. Durham told the Louisville Sports Live crew that he thought a potential ACC Channel would not be the conventional format such that “X channel” is the ACC Channel. Durham stated that he thought it would be a multiple platform channel, which would involve ESPN, Raycom, and some online distribution.

Enjoy your Saturday and the ACC Men’s Basketball Championship Game!!
