That started before the ACCN came into existence. It appeared they wanted to make the SEC look better by belittling the ACC. Was this an attempt to encourage the best players in the ACC footprint to play for SEC teams? It sure looked that way. I stopped watching ESPN's Saturday pre-game show because of that crap. Probably my O&M glasses, but it also appeared they only went after the ACC. The ACC was basically on par with all of the other P5 conferences, but they really went out of their way to trash us.
