As a new sports season closes in, the launch of the new ACC Network is scheduled for next week on August 22. During the week, the ACC announced some new providers had signed up to provide the network. That included Charter/Spectrum.

Still, with the network launch just days away, some major providers in the Virginia region had not yet agreed to terms with the ACC/ESPN/Disney to carry the channel. That prompted an emailed letter from Carla Williams that is shared below in case you didn’t see it.

That’s obviously been a hot topic this week on the message boards. For other things on the minds of fans, it’s time to dive into TheSabre.com’s Fan Friday feature!

Question Of The Week

This week’s question comes from poster wdbwdb, who asked on the football board what were people’s “Favorite plays from last season?” For wdbwdb, the picks were Bryce Hall's epic rundown of Miami's Homer, Bryce Perkins "going Edwin Moses" (announcer's expression) twice against Louisville, and Tim Harris closing out his career with an interception in the Belk Bowl. The whole thread is here where you can share your answers.
