The ACC has been talking about a potential TV network for some time. Now, though, it appears like the wheels are actually moving on it:
ACC Network will launch by August 2019 & ACC extends conference grant of rights thru 2036, sources told @ESPN

Assuming this goes down, this will obviously be a huge deal for Pitt as well as the rest of the schools in the conference. Pitt is already doing quite nicely from a financial standpoint just through their membership in the ACC but a network would turn things up a notch in terms of revenue.
