The irony of you pointing out common sense that is missing a key point
Yes, the SEC game is on a broadcast that will get more viewers, BUT, they got that game because they are expected to get more viewers than the ACC matchup if it were on that broadcast. ESPN is a for profit company. There are a limited number of slots and they are going to put the games that will best monetize those slots, thus they don't put ACC teams in them because no one gives a crap about ACC football games that their school isn't playing in. You may not like it and it may burst your ESPN and SEC are colluding to kill the ACC pity party, but the fact is... The SEC is more interesting and draws more viewers than the ACC and thus will get the prime TV slots. It's not a conspiracy, it's good business.
The ACC sucks at football AND is uninteresting in doing it.

This is where I think that the conference networks miss the mark.
