Sports Business ESPN extends ACC deal through 2035-36

Bob Ferrante
In a long-expected move, ESPN is exercising the option in its agreement with the league. The network’s extension takes the contract, currently expiring in 2027, to 2036. The deal remains mostly unchanged.

ACC presidents met Wednesday for a briefing and are expected to accept, if they have not already done so, the network’s extension, though there is little to no other option. Within the ACC’s deal with ESPN, the network — not the league — is afforded the option to extend the package by its own discretion.

As part of the extension, the league’s biggest brands — Florida State, Miami and Clemson — are expected to play more football games regularly with Notre Dame. The Irish are expected to play, at the very least, two of the three each season in a rotation.

Does anyone knows when tickets go on sale for the Bama game?

FSU will not put single game tickets on sale until after the season ticket sales process is over and Ithere's a fair chance FSU will not have or want to sell Alabama as single game tickets.

Here's why I think that. FSU has been selling season tickets EXCLUSIVELY to existing season ticket holders who have been impacted by the stadium renovation for the past 18 months and will continue to do so until the priority seating process is over about April 9. Only then will they open SEASON TICKET sales to anyone but those impacted seat holders. They out of loyalty to existing season ticket holders impacted by the project, they are making every opportunity o be sure they give them EVERY opportunity to select seats before they allow anyone new to buy.

The renewal rate I am told is good, but they are still going to allow those impacted people to go through the selection process -- which ends April 9 -- before they let anyone else buy those seats. Only then will FSU allow unsold seats in the champions club or west sideline to be bought by people who did not have seats in those sections in 2023 and 2024 and that includes east side season ticket holders who want to move to the west or to Boosters who didn't have season tickets and finally to new season ticket holders.

I think there's a bit of a list of people who have been waiting for sales to those sections to open up, so it would surprise me if the reduced capacity stadium were to sell out with season ticket buyers, especially with Alabama on the schedule.

If the stadium does not sell out with season tickets, it would not surprise me to see FSU restrict sales of any unsold seats for Alabama to existing season ticket holders and/or Boosters. I'd do everything possible to reward my season ticket holders and boosters first and everything possible to minimize how many Bama fans could buy.

If you really want tickets to the Alabama game, you can guarantee yourself seats by buying FSU season tickets. Use the Bama tickets for yourself and put the other six games on sale on ticketmaster. You'll guarantee yourself seats for Bama and net out far better than if you buy Bama tickets in the secondary market.
