Raycom Has A Problem. The ACC Has An Opportunity.

Before ESPN took over, the ACC had a deal with Raycom, and that still exists in a lesser capacity. However, Raycom had a deal with Diamond Sports Group, a subsidiary of Sinclair, to broadcast ACC basketball and football games.

But Diamond has gone bankrupt and now Raycom has lost its distributor.

It’s a valuable property and they’ll find a home quickly.

However, this is an opportunity for the ACC: if possible, the league should should insist that digital rights to Raycom broadcasts be retained and they should be pounding on the doors of Apple’s Tim Cook and Eddie Cue, who both are Fuqua grads and well aware of ACC basketball, and doing whatever they have to do to get programming on the new Vision Pro.
