Not true. When I'm watching games, i always check to

what games are on, where, and what time. Of course I'll know where my teams are, but I'm a fan of the game itself. I'll watch the scores, and would much rather watch a close game with 3rd or 4th tier games of just about any conference. I will admit, it's VERY hard to watch a G5 game if there are no fans in the stands, but those too are fun to watch. Take the Clemson game as an example. They did not have to put them on ESPN because they had a slot on the ACCN. I'm willing to bet that there was a B12 game (3rd tier) on at the same time as that Clemson game - either ESPB, 2, FS1, or some other broadcast network. The prime slots have always been reserved for the blue bloods, or the teams that are hot that year. Indiana this year, TCU a couple of years ago. The top names will get those time slots, even if they are having an off year. The only way anyone else gets in those slots, is if they are in the polls, and the game has conference or national championship implications. The Duke - SMU, a game of one loss teams, should be on a network in a decent time slot - but they are relegated to the ACCN. Why?

I know this should be common sense for everyone-

The irony of you pointing out common sense that is missing a key point

I'm not sure where all the hostility is coming from, friend-o.

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

I don't have concrete evidence, but I don't think so.

There are several things that I think are really going over your head here-

How could anyone have possibly guessed this trend in 2011? Poppycock?**

I think Tech’s ratings are good with this reality & our recent records.
