[QUOTE="Panthergrowl13, post: 131760490, member: 1426077"] The ACC Conference wanted to establish their own network. ESPN in consultation with the ACC concluded that the "Critical Mass" necessary to make the network possible would be to bring in Pitt, Syracuse and Notre Dame. Pitt, Syracuse and Notre Dame (Includes 5 football games/yr) were admitted into the ACC Conference. ESPN/ACC initiated the ACCN which is now on most Cable Platforms. Comcast is the last hold out but according to Jim Philips (ACC Commissioner) a deal to include the ACCN on the Comcast network is imminent. Expect to happen this September or at the latest in Jan 2022 when the ESPN/Comcast contracts expire. So Pitt has already helped the ACC by contributing to the formation of the ACCN. As for ND joining a Conference who knows but at some point they may feel they need to pick one. Bringing ND and WVU would allow the ACC to open their contract with ESPN. See how it goes. HAIL TO PITT!!!! [/QUOTE]
