During his state of the conference press conference John Swofford spent much of his time on the ACC Network. The few big takeaways were that the conference is going to put ACC Matchups on the Network right away in 2019. The opening weekend ACC game is rumored to be BC-Virginia Tech. I don't know if we should be honored or worried about being first.
Swofford also shared how far behind financially the ACC revenues are compared to the SEC and Big Ten. The Network should shrink that gap a bit.
Carriage is the final and most important issue. Who cares about the ACC Network if no one can see it. Swofford claims ESPN is going to leverage its other assets to force the cable and satellite providers' hands. ESPN seems pretty protective and fearful of cord cutting, so I don't know how much hardball they will play. I am hoping that if the major carriers don't open up the season with the network, that fans will have other access points.

ACC Network = overkill.
BC-VT would be a great first game for the ACC Network - better to be first than last!
More fraud That’s not me.
Now my real, actual, proven opinion of the ACC Network is that is keeps us from being 'Templed' out of the ACC for a while. I don't think it will do much for BC football as long as Daz-o-poopy is around though
What the hell. 8:32 and 7:55 comments are fake. Atl, do something about this
ESPN has BC number 4 in the ACC power rankings.
