36 Louisville games to be carried on ACC Network Extra

The University of Louisville athletics department will broadcast 36 events on Atlantic Coast Conference Network Extra, the second-most originating telecasts, in the fall of 2016.

The conference's fall Olympic sports schedule that will be streamed on ACC Network Extra, announced Thursday, features 331 events on the new digital channel that debuts on Friday.

The coverage marks the initial phase of the full ACC Network announced July 21 by ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference. Live streaming of Olympic sports will increase annually, culminating with 1,300 total ACC events when the linear network launches in 2019.

"We've looked forward to the launch of ACC Network Extra with excitement and anticipation since last month's announcement," ACC Commissioner John Swofford said.
