I'm not sure where all the hostility is coming from, friend-o.
Did I miss something? Did I insult your mother, or your dog? Are you employed by ESPN and/or the SEC? Or, did you miss something - like that I'm clearly not some ACC apologist. You can check my post history and quickly deduce exactly where I stand when it comes to the ACC, and VT's future as a member of it.
I think maybe you should calm down, take some deep breaths, take your blood pressure medicine, and have a nap, before you give yourself a stroke. Nobody wants to see any of the veins in your forehead pop open and spray acid everywhere.
And, frankly, I'm not missing a key point at all. I assure you that I'm not some slobbering mouth breather. I clearly understand why they decide to put who they decide to put in those time slots. But it's a pretty obvious fallacy to then turn around and say, "SEE? LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! WE WERE RIGHT! MORE PEOPLE WATCH THE SEC THAN THE ACC!" Yeah, no kidding, of course they do, you put one on ABC, which is broadcast over the air, for free, and the other on the ACCN, which is so niche, and buried so deep in the channel selection, that people have to actively seek it out on their own to even know it exists.

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