I'm still searching for an 'official' announcement from The ACC. This will be GREAT news for those of us in Comcast areas of the country.

Now if we can just get Bally/RSN back on streaming cable services we’ll be all set.

My preference would be to get all ACC games off of Bally. They suck.

Oh, I agree! But it’s better that not being able to watch at all.

Finally. Having to carry youtube TV for 65/mo, plus the 300/mo comcast bill is unwieldy.

Wouldn't that mean more money to the schools also, since comcast is a big outlet?

I’m just the opposite, would rather have the games on Bally Sports then ESPN / ABC.
For me Bally has way better game day production and announcers then what ESPN / ABC provides. I actually like watching Fox’s Big -10/12 games the best..

Headline: "...in Coming Weeks"

Anyone seen a realistic number of how much revenue this will add to each school? Are we talking around $1 million per year or $5 million a year?

Well that certainly nails it down....

I recall an article from a Carolina paper (I Raleigh observer) a few years back saying Comcast alone was estimated to add at least $5-8 million

Nice! That would be a fantastic addition to the bottom line.

Here is an article that estimates $100 million for the conference. https://richmond.com/sports/college...cle_aae63897-1f22-516f-a341-72c7cec5c7a6.html

I couldn’t locate the older article that I read before the deal was signed suggesting that Comcast at minimum represented $5-$8 million per school.
