This is generally good news for ACC fans.

There is also chatter of an ACC Network (similar to the B1G Network and SEC Network). Like an actual network. The question seems to be whether, at this point in the progress, it will be a formal cable channel or a streaming channel on services like DirecTV Now and Sling TV.
