ACC has signed an extension with ESPN for 15 years $3.6 BILLION!! $17M per school.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7910112/atlantic-coast-conference-espn-extend-rights-deal-2026-27

Pretty good, considering the conference was getting $37 million per year from the 2005 contract.

Quote :

"When the ACC adds Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the conference will play an 18-game regular-season men's basketball schedule -- and ESPN networks will show an additional 30 regular-season games, plus two more conference tournament games. The new deal also adds 14 more football games, including three Friday night games (one of which, hosted by Boston College or Syracuse, to be played the day after Thanksgiving). "

friday night games are shitty for recruiting

swofford won't hesitate to send us up to syracuse/bc on a friday, adding further insult to the fact that we haven't opened conference play at home in ever
