are almost exclusively catered by ACC leadership to when it comes to any sort of direction or policy decision. I also note that the 2/3 schools added to the ACC to "enhance" its value are the very last two schools in the red, because neither had any pulse in their old conference and couldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight. The other added school is the top in green, because they're a tiny, private, religious college with a miniscule fanbase that, before begging and ultimately having to buy their way into the ACC, was a G5 program synonymous with cheating (i.e., buying their way into the winner's circle.) And, it's now been more-or-less confirmed that ESPN was not consulted beforehand and did not approve of any of the 3 additions - in fact, ESPN was not happy at all they were added, and that's now likely going to be a sticking point in negotiating better media rights payouts for the conference. The ACC is a never-ending bad joke. ** Edited by Baltimore_Hokie at 8/7/2024, 11:31:40 AM
