I was wondering when this was going to happen!! Now all the Confer. got a deal! OH WELL!

I'm sure that 1.2 mid-season rating is going to excite execs to the soles of their shoes and back.

I'm sure I'll watch it about as much as I watch the Big Ten Network or the Longhorn Network (spoiler alert: never).

I'm sure the launch will go swimmingly.

It'll go better than what we've seen with the PAC and LHN. I appreciate the path they've chosen...sitting back, watching others make some bad choices—see the PAC's relationship with FOX—and going a different direction. It looks as if they are following the SEC's plan almost step for step.

My biggest question is how they (providers) "place" the channel. Is it going to be available with basic sports packages (like the SEC,) or is it going to be an extra expense/upgrade (like the B1G is today.)

I have suspicions we won't see better ratings in the basketball season than that of the ACCN.

If they cover lacrosse to any meaningful degree, that will actually help their ratings.

I'm assuming we have a little "tongue in cheek" here, but you have a point. I'd watch Lacrosse. It's a great conference for soccer as well. The ACC has pretty good baseball as well and I enjoy watching college baseball.
