upon terms that will in any way improve the ACC's current position. Disney has the ACC administration exactly where they want them - scared and panicking. If you pay attention to what's going on, you'll come to the conclusion that Disney is actively trying to destroy the ACC as a football property. Yes, yes, I know, they're "invested" in the ACCN, yadda yadda yadda. BS. If they're "invested," then why do they refuse to book ACC voices on any of their opinion/preview/studio shows? Why do ESPN's company men (e.g. Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler, etc.) actively and repeatedly denigrate the ACC product at every available opportunity? Why has ESPN excluded the ACC from primetime ABC OTA broadcasts? Why do they promote one property (the SEC) to the derision of the ACC? ("IT JUST MEANS MORE!") They are basically covering ACC football EXACTLY the same way they used to cover the late-era Big East conference - denigrate, tear down, or ignore. It's pretty obvious what's going on at the Disney/ESPN offices, at least if you have eyes, ears, and the capacity for critical thinking. They are only minimally "invested" in the ACC, and only for another couple years. They are going to take the football brands they want, slot them elsewhere, then re-negotiate a much crappier deal for whatever is left of the ACC so they can get the basketball product. ** Edited by Baltimore_Hokie at 8/16/2024, 10:15:37 AM
