swofford had not announced anything. not a date, not even a firm commitment that there will be a network.
recall that ESPN has a $2 million exit right that they negotiated for. they must have thought they might need that.
hard to reconcile the success of the SECN with the lack of a similar announcement by the ACC. The GOR has been in place for 2+ years now, and still not even an announcement.
as it is, the SEC will distribute roughly $30 million to its members while the ACC will distribute roughtly $20 million.
