The CW has secured the rights to 50 ACC games, beginning Sept. 9 with Pitt’s football game against Cincinnati. Thirteen ACC football games will air Saturdays on the CW, which will [also] broadcast 28 ACC men's and women's basketball games throughout December, January and February. The ACC will have men's basketball doubleheaders on the CW every Saturday, and women's basketball doubleheaders on Sunday afternoons.

I wonder which other 12 games they’ll pick up, especially since they seem to include non-conference games as well. It would be weird to watch the Palmetto Bowl on the CW.

Raycom Sports, which sublicences ACC events from ESPN, sold its rights to the CW but will continue producing them. The CW has not aired college sports events but is the exclusive home for LIV Golf. The network is best known for broadcast series, including "All-American," which focuses on college football players in the Los Angeles area.

We’re gonna have to have a spin-off that focuses on college football in the North Carolina area now.

It will definitely be interesting to see which games get picked for the CW slate and how much traffic they pick up!
