Million people.But the main issue has been and will be the cost of the network.This is where the issue lies with the ACC schools.Plus the full share to ND. ND is getting a full share plus NBC TV movie.The ACC has no leaverage on them unless their demand drops and NBC drops their games.Here is a piece on an articleBut a big question is just how successful the ACC Network will actually be. In an era where there are <a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/larry-scott-pac-12-networks-directv-uverse-ballers.html">plenty of distribution challenges for league networks</a>, even well-established ones <a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/comcast-customers-could-be-shut-out-of-big-ten-network-heading-into-football-season.html">like the Big Ten Network</a>, launching a new channel is an unconventional move. (Presuming that this will actually be a new channel and not just a rebrand of one of the smaller ESPN networks, of course.) And while ESPN has major advantages over, say, <a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/pac-12-networks-average-carriage-fee-down-63-per-cent-since-2012.html">the Pac-12</a>, thanks to their ability to bundle this with access to their other content, it’s still not an easy environment to launch a network into.If the <a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/even-the-most-conservative-internal-acc-network-projections-have-the-conference-shooting-past-the-pac-12.html">reported internal revenue projections</a> of a per-school distribution of $10-$15 million per year (for what it’s worth, ACC commissioner John Swofford insists the conference is actually more conservative than that) come true, schools will make back these startup costs quickly. But if they wind up with distribution challenges and/or fewer viewers than expected, there may be more questions asked about the strategy of spending so much in preparation for this launch.<a href="https://www.google.com/amp/amp.awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/acc-schools-120-million-acc-network-launch.html">https://www.google.com/amp/amp.awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/acc-schools-120-million-acc-network-launch.html</a></blockquote>
