Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.
Be prepared for a rant.
It is 2021 and the ACC is stuck with an extremely trashy television deal. Yes, there is an ACC Network, but it seems to me that ESPN needs sort of a wild card TV time slot (For what it’s worth, I’m sure the ESPN talking heads didn’t expect Virginia Tech to defeat North Carolina). Today, Virginia Tech is playing Middle Tennessee State on ACC Network Extra or ESPN Plus.
A ranked ACC football team should not be on ACC Network Extra or on ESPN Plus. A ranked ACC football team should be moved to ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU – even ESPN News or ESPN Classic. There needs to be a degree of flexibility within the ACC and ESPN – and it has to be looked at by ACC Commissioner, Jim Phillips.
Why the ACC is being treated trashy like this is so 2020/2021.
Thanks for listening to my public service rant.
