On the eve of the ACC Kickoff (due to start on Thursday), a report was released on Monday evening indicating that the conference has reached a deal with ESPN to launch its own television network, to be launched by the start of the 2019 football season. The idea is that the deal is being done in time for ACC Commissioner John Swofford to be able to announce and discuss the deal at the festivities in Greensboro later this week. Besides a normal cable channel, the deal also reportedly includes “over-the-top” components, which would include content delivered to viewers entirely over the internet.
