The ACC Network is a horrible idea for the ACC
Aug 12, 2019, 5:31 PM
|

And sadly for Clemson. Firstly, it isn’t widely offered among providers at the Beach of South Carolina so one can only surmise it is non existent in areas such as Kansas and California. How’s that for expanding your market? Then take our first game, one that would and should be widely watched being prime time opening Thursday. Had this been on ESPN 3 even we would have had national exposure but unless I’m wrong you need to have a subscription to the network to watch on the app or your TV. I know why ESPN is doing this, the question I have is for the genius minds we have running the ACC, do they even have a clue?

It's great for the ACC and Clemson unless you don't like money. Everyone will be carrying the network soon enough.

in the end all these games will be payper view

Similar to the way the MLB.tv operates. If you want it you'll pay for it. And they'll eventually get us with a la carte packages or single team packages to rake in the money b/c everything is going web based. They want you to attend the games so they'll end up making staying at home and going similar in price. So you'll end up paying for a base tv package and then an ACC package. Or you'll have to buy the college football package which will be hefty. So be happy with the games we have on tv by just paying your service bill. ITs going to get worse i'm sure.

this initial football season may be a bit difficult.....

but wait until basketball season. just put a UNC-Duke game on ACCN. And a few Syracuse, UVA, Louisville basketball games. You'll see a way bigger national outcry. Plus all the Notre Dame fans.
Everybody will be pressured to have it by basketball season. Just be patient.

homers about the slower adoption but in the long run this will deliver well. Too much market and too deep throughout the league's sports not to capture the nut.

Op has a point. The ACC network will be a lost leader for espn. No one will want to pay for it . I wouldn’t pay for it and I have an interest. The failure of this network will leave the ACC with an even worse apathetic perception.
I’m a Tiger true and true but I’m not sold on the Conference network thing. I prefer to concentrate on lil ole Clemson.

So how many Duke basketball fans are there nationwide? UNC? What about Syracuse? And Notre Dame?
These are huge national brands with fanbases from end to end. Many of these fans can probably get through a terrible football season without ACCN, but you KNOW they will have to have it by Dec 1 when hoops fires up. They put Duke Midnight Madness on, and a million Dukies all over the country will be compelled to watch.

Fail to plan, and plan to fail.
I'm ready and waiting for the starting gun.
For many years while in business, I learned that the ones that can adapt to change the easiest succeeded the most. If you're a CLEMSON man, I suggest you grab those bootstraps and pull yourself up, and haul some ###.

That would be the area otherwise known as the Grand Strand, Long Bay etc. Isle of Palms, Kiawah and Hilton Head are barrier islands so South Carolina truly only has one beach head.

The network is going to make Clemson and the league a lot more money, as well as bringing attention to Olympic sports, and some cool series including one about Clemson football.
It will be getting picked up by more carriers, this is just how the negotiations work. At this point, your conference is a joke if you don’t have a network.

My goodness. We are the 15-0 defending national champs.

Our Spring Game was an hours-long Clemson commercial. We are recruiting blue chip student-athletes out of California. Game Day will be at Clemson for the first half of their broadcast.
I’m all for maximum exposure but maybe, just maybe people know who Clemson is. Let’s see if we can give back just a little by enticing providers to carry the ACC network. And can we at least wait a few months before we declare it a failure? It’s not even launched yet.
Do we really think it benefits Clemson to be in the only conference without a Network?
Just out of curiosity, is there some source that can say how many homes have access to each conference’s network?

A few hours away? There's literally 16 days until the game. And as people have pointed out, you can easily sign up for a free trial of Hulu Live TV/Youtube TV/Playstation Vue and watch the game.

This isn’t a matter of knowing who Clemson is. Who outside of South Carolina will subscribe to an entire ACC network to watch Clemson play 12 games? The rest of the ACC is a garbage fire and we all know it. This doesn’t do us any favors. The National viewership on the A & M game will be huge, outside of that I’m not convinced and if you don’t think 5 star players are coming here to be seen on TV then I can’t help you see it. Some obscure network that isn’t even available locally is a very bad sign.

It isn't about clemson.. some will sign up to watch FSU or VT football games..or Duke women lacross.
The majority of Clemson games will be on tv. You can always PAY for the ACC network . Nothing is stopping you.

Replays will be shown on other ESPN channels. Don't panic until there is something to panic about.

Maybe it'll be provided nationwide? I know Charter Spectrum has the Big 10 Network in this area even though there are no conference schools nearby.

there is no "Perception of the ACC"

beyond this forum. For the most-part, nobody really cares about the success or prosperity of the ACC network in relation to the SEC Network. People just fabricate this drama and then worry about it needlessly.
Nationally, nobody cares about the GT @ Clemson game.

who thinks their school has a chance for the Playoff would be interested in hopes of Clemson taking a loss - no matter how remote that chance is.

Well college football fans definitely care, in that it's the opening game of week 1 featuring the defending champions. If it was buried in the middle of the season nobody would care, but as far as Thursday night openers go, it's a pretty good one.

It said i don't have ESPNU through my subscriber so I couldn't watch the game on espn3.

Firstly, it isn’t widely offered among providers at the Beach of South Carolina so one can only surmise it is non existent in areas such as Kansas and California. How’s that for expanding your market?
I'm in Denver and I will have the ACC Network. I think you're vastly underestimating the popularity of streaming TV services. The ACC Network is starting off slow, but it'll catch on in time.
