The marriage between ESPN and the SEC started out as a wave, that has grown exponentially; regrettably the ACC remains clueless. One example this weekend was evident in how the SEC Network was telecasting UK vs LSU while the ACCN had a rather insignificant women’s game scheduled when #2 WF & #10 UL were playing for one of the Division‘s lead.
During the SEC Network, the analyst were talking about the importance of the UK games against both UL and IU in terms of hosting a SuperRegional; they understand the importance of mid-week games; conversely the ACC did not even see our matchup with WF as reason to schedule it over the weekend.
The ACC is simply behind the SEC in every single respect, and I fear that disparity will only grow as they attract the players and the coaches who are witnessing the emphasis the SEC has on their sports programs.
