I'm not liking this new TV deal and how it's going to really kick the ACC to the back of the line.
Look at Weeks 1-3 on ABC:
Noon- SEC/ACC, SEC/Big12, SEC/SEC
330- SEC/ACC, SEC/SEC, SEC/SEC
Prime- SEC/ND, SEC/ACC, SEC/SEC
On ESPN main:
Noon- SEC/ACC, B12/G5, ACC/G5
330- SEC/G5, NONE, SEC/G5
Prime- SEC/G5, TBD, SEC/G5
LATE- B12/G5, SEC/B12, G5/ACC
It really seems like they're trying to hurt out league. The SEC is going to be on every single ABC window the first 3 weeks. The only ACC games they have on ESPN or ABC that has an ACC team without a SEC team is Florida Sate vs. a G5 team and Stanford playing in a late game. Talk about bias. I know the $EC is a better league, but there's no reason that we should be getting the shaft on so many of these top viewing windows.
I'm really at the point where we need to just blow up the ACC and Big 12 leagues that exist now and get the 16 best teams from both leagues to form a strong football league. The best 16 teams in the Big 12 and ACC would be a better league top to bottom than the Big Ten, they just have the better top teams but we'd have much better games top to bottom.
