[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1222793, member: 7536"] Interesting move by ACC to extend GOR for ACC channel. ESPN seems to have some politics in here as well to keep B1G from poaching ACC as they lose teams/content to FOX in B1G Tier 1 contract & Fox/BTN...so they offer up ACC channel when they seem to be backing away from further conference channels (both ACC & Big12). Be interesting to see how this plays out for ACC, I think part of the power of the BTN is the ESPN leverage the B1G has with BTN shared with Fox & why the B1G was so successful in ESPN negotiations for the 2nd half of the TV package. Texas is definitely the team to watch in the near term. I still think that the possibility of NU, IL, PU and the like making more of primary TV package than Texas has to have the attention of Texas. Add in a weak conference and they have to be considering options in Austin. [/QUOTE]
