The basic answer I was told by someone on the ESPN side was that Comcast isn't going to carry the ACC network until the current deal expires and at that time they will likely negotiate a deal for all the channels. I went the Hulu route until Hulu dropped the RSN's. Right now, the only carrier in my area that has both the ACCN and the RSN is DirecTV. The ACC games seem to be split between the ACCN and the RSN. So, unless you go sat. you aren't going to see all the games you want to see. ESPN's business model is to spread the games out as much as possible between their various channels to leverage the carriers into carrying all the ESPN family of channels.
