The ACC’s television network, long-promised and occasionally thought about, will officially be up and running at the tail end of August next year. The long sought-after network will provide 24/7 ACC sports programming and gets to showcase football game between Clemson and Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.
This is a big deal for the league, but whether any of the rest of us likes it remains to be seen. The conference is moving to a 20-game basketball schedule in order to supply inventory for the new channel, and I have a feeling that’s going to be a drag.
