RE: Football Fun - Guess The ACC network schedule for 2019
Looking at this year's data, 40-44 range seems about right, dependent upon how good the ACC turns out to be in a given year.
Considering the fact that the B1G can have their games aired on ABC, FOX, ESPN, FS1, ESPN2, and ESPNU while the SEC has CBS, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU (and who knows when they negotiate their T1 content what will be added) and still get 44-50 games on their networks, the ACC better get at least 40 games on the ACCN considering our options of slots are a lot less.
Out of 57 conference match-ups this past year (includes ACCCG) only 35 were aired on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU.
The remaining 22 were moved to RSNs/Raycom or ESPNApp/ACCNE
Out of 56 out-of-conference match-ups, two were neutral site games that aired on ABC the first week of the season leaving 54 games total. Of that total 35 were games belonging to the ACC. Of those 35 only 14 of them were aired on ABC, ESPN, ESPN, ESPNU or ESPNews.
The remaining 21 were either shown on RSNs/Raycom or ESPNApp/ACCNE
So there is at least 43 games there.
Again, every year could be slightly different but between 40-44 sounds right to me. NOTE: the above data was just a first run through, as usual there may be a game or two I missed.
Cheers,
Neil
