The Atlantic Coast Conference is still figuring out whether it will start a dedicated cable channel of its own.Details have been scarce about the behind-the-scenes process the league and broadcast partner ESPN are navigating in an effort to determine whether it makes financial sense to start an ACC-specific channel like the ones some other conferences have.League Commissioner John Swofford has even joked about the situation, "I know you're very tired of hearing me talk and not say much on that subject."The possibility excites ACC coaches and athletic directors who say they want the league's ultimate decision — whatever it is — to be a prudent one.Virginia AD Craig Littlepage is "optimistic for the prospect of an ACC channel," though he acknowledges "a lot of elements and moving parts with the changing landscape on so many different levels."North Carolina State's Debbie Yow praised the ACC for being "diligent in their efforts.""Obviously, all ADs and all coaches want this to happen sooner rather than later," Yow said, "but the commissioner will let us know when the time is right."Swofford has never set a timetable for a decision even as the idea of an ACC channel has replaced conference realignment in recent years as the league's most challenging off-the-field topic.North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said establishing a network is "crucial for the success of the league" because of the added boost in exposure and revenue it could generate."I think every league's going to have it," he added.
