TV ratings will benefit FSU, Clemson and likely Miami....

in football and Duke and UNC in men's hoops. I kind of see Tech, UVA, NC State and Louisville in the middle followed by Pitt, Cuse, GT and then BC and Wake at the bottom. Cuse could join the group with Virginia Tech if men's basketball is Top 25 again. Not sure where Stanford, Cal and SMU fit in. I agree with what you wrote but Tech is responsible for the product they put on the football field and basketball court. Tech is going to get a lot of ACCN and CW time with what they have now. The ACC needs to do a better job promoting the CW football and basketball games. SMU-TCU is actually a nice game for The CW. IMHO, I think Jim Phillips is trying his best to bring stability to the ACC is reaching out to FSU and Clemson. I expect most of the ACC presidents will agree to "pay" FSU, Clemson and UNC more money if it can bring stability to the ACC for the rest of this decade. I just wonder how many ACC schools will take a paycut?

Here is the simple analogy...
jesuisvtguy • 09/19/24 08:18 PM ET
Maybe the networks pick matches that attract higher ratings?
