Over the last few days, we have heard of the numerous areas in which the new ESPN/ACC Network will benefit the ACC as a conference.
The ACC schools will benefit financially because of this deal (though the details have not yet been released), as it will put them in line with the SEC and Big Ten. The conference will be able to maintain stability for at least the next 20 years (unless it chooses to expand). Also, though it was not talked about in great depth, the new partnership will have a huge impact on the Olympic sports in the ACC and more specifically at UNC.
