ESPN is flirting with serious backlash. It’s causing me to question…

Whether I really need ESPN. I can’t stand any of their hyperventilating on-air personalities. The ESPN brass seems to think that increasing the volume of discussion simply must increase ratings (looking at Pat McAfee). If large swaths of the country, particularly parts effectively excluded from the playoff, decide they want ESPN unbundled and then canceled and make a big, political, deal out of it, they could find themselves in a mess. Think about how many days each week you can go without watching ESPN. ** Edited by lawhokie at 11/20/2024, 9:37:59 AM

The Big 12 guy on here is going to be very upset when he reads this.**

This could not be happening......

Serious question as 2why this now, are they worried about teams opting out?
Stech • 11/19/24 01:11 PM ET
I mentioned all of this two years ago
TerryD • 11/20/24 10:22 AM ET
Currently I agree, but what happens if the Mag 7+ leave the ACC? ESPN holds
Stech • 11/20/24 01:29 PM ET
Not worried about it
TerryD • 11/20/24 02:10 PM ET
Haha, no one could see that coming!! 🤣🤣**

Truths and truisms are easy to spot. :)

It's not even spin anymore. It's preemptive justification

That’s it, they’re bragging about it instead of hiding Unprofessional 🤼
Stech • 11/19/24 12:52 PM ET

Yes. They will make sure the non-P2 teams feel “lucky” to be there**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/19/24 01:07 PM ET
Yep & next they take their automatic bids 4 Conf Champs & G6 highest away!
Stech • 11/19/24 01:21 PM ET
I'm not sure I don't disagree with that ...
hokietony • 11/19/24 12:08 PM ET
Another step to ending Conf Champ games and going to 16 team playoff of P2
