Presently NONE. Would any ACC team be on the main screen if a Texas, Bama, Ohio State, or USC game was being played at the same time? I doubt it unless the ACC game had national title implications. The ACC has 2 national brands in FSU and Miami and both have been slowly fading away the past decade. Will NBC be making a mistake signing a television contract with the BEFC? Probably, but that's the poison they have to swallow in order to keep the nation's #1 national brand, Notre Dame. If ratings are a bust (which is very possible), then NBC won't renew the contract which would finally put an end to the BEFC.
