RE: Disney/ESPN’s acquisition of Fox underlines how Syracuse was right to move to ACC
When the checks start rolling in, I'll believe it.
ACC is the redheaded step child of ESPN. They regularly promote SEC to crazy levels, while hardly noticing ACC football.
Most recent of a million examples was when FSU couldn't afford to keep Jimbo, ESPN completely parroted Jimbo's pro SEC message that FSU didn't care about football (not FSU is poorer, but didn't care about football) and A&M was the place to when titles, not FSU. Kirk Herbstreit, let alone Paul Feinbau, repeatedly parroted this. FSU has won 3 national titles since 93 and A&M's last title was 78 years ago.
NOBODY at ESPN said, 'that narrative makes no sense and is total BS.'
ACC is sleeping with the enemy and with friends like these, who needs enemies.
That doesn't mention that # of SEC media members at ESPN. It is dozens and dozens. How many ACC media members at ESPN? ACC football media? The disparity is totally symbolic of where the ACC stands with ESPN.
Won't even begin to address the huge revenue disparity with these networks. ACC will be lucky to make half what the SEC does. And the new SEC age of $2 million DC, and $7-$10 million HC, it's gonna be an issue.
Rip away, but this board is dreaming about what ESPN is to the ACC.
