Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

I will never understand the logic of the on campus stadium, besides the insane disregard for accessibility. If we’re concerned that students are leaving the first second they have the option to (I.e. third quarter buses), why do we think being able to leave at any time will induce more of them to stay? It’s an interest problem guys, not an access problem

100%...I've been to way to many games on campus where the majority of students just don't care or lose interest. And it's got worse over the years with social media distractions, smart phones, etc...Free entrance to hockey games, baseball. Soccer games that empty out at halftime, if they ever show up. There's no one to blame or nothing to fix as just way to many of them have the attention span of a.........it just is what it is !

Yeah because conference networks have worked out so great for everyone but the Big 10 and SEC.

Like I said, just judging based on every other power conference having one. The argument has been made that UConn doesn’t bring the carriage fees for the ACCN. Well, a Big 12 network would certainly help our case, no?

Carriage is so declining growth.

Who starts a business model knowing that your subscriber base is declining. Worst investment ever.

Doesn’t justify startup costs.

These businesses aren’t cash and carry. They have large capital investments they have to show growth over a span of time.

Like, it isn't just, add UConn, get carriage…boom, we make money.

The only reason there is an acc network is it is a pet project of former Espn leader John Skipper. Loved his tar heels, I think he saw growth there when everyone else thought it was meh.

Also, Espn got a little too big for its britches with sec network success they thought they could duplicate it with longhorn and acc network. At end of day, acc network is largely an online entity. That's its future.

Maybe if we are in the year 2008.

Given what's going on with UConn Basketball, I would think ESPN would salivate forcefully over the prospects of UConn/Duke/UNC twice a year. Good lord. And that wouldn't be on the ACCN.

Again, you’re missing my point. I simply said if there were a Big 12 network it would improve our changes. That’s literally all I mean.

When ACC added SMU/Calford part of the argument was “hey new markets we can make money on through carriage fees”

I would think so, but no movement. UConn owns mens and womens hoops right now.

The women are top 2, men top 3.

You can't be a seriously be the home of college hoops if UConn is not in your portfolio.

There’s going to be little to no appetite from carriers in yet another sports network. Plus, the Big 12 is with ESPN and Fox whereas the three conferences with networks are with one or the other. The network either owns or is a partner in the network…that’s messy when you have the deals that the Big 12 has.

I think we all understand that linear cable channels are in secular decline. In the near future, the conference channels will morph into streaming services or they will be included within streaming packages like ESPN+, Netflix, Prime, Max... Right now, the BTN, SECN, and ACCN have benefitted from conference expansion which has added subscribers and brought more markets under their in-market rate which has allowed their revenues to grow. In each conferences' traditional markets/states, subscribers are declining.

I don't think the Big 12 will start up a cable channel, but, in the future, they could start up a conference streaming app that would be available on Netflix/Amazon/Max. But, they have already sold their inventory over the next few years.

Timing is everything. Gotta give the mustangs credit, they did beat ranked Louisville. The rest of the schedule is about as soft an ACC schedule as you could put together.

I'd say Army is the most successful team to transition to the Power 5. Undefeated even. :cool:

Bwhahaha. Nice try. AAC is not "Power" anything.
 
SMU has donor commitment that makes P2 powers jealous. Like having a billionaire pro sports owner who doesn’t care about revenue, just winning. Their ascent should be no surprise.

Their donors are sone of the wealthiest in Texas and the USA. And they actually care about sports. But they still have a surprisingly empty stadium.
