How does market size fit into that theory? The ACC can’t hype because the size of the fanbase is dramatically smaller.Agree completely and have said for years that the ACC failed at hyping itself the way the SEC does.
FSU, being left out of thevplayoffs, something the committee telegraphed might happen even before the QB injury, tells me the ship has sailed on the ACC being able to hype itself into respectability. We’ve had more than half a century of major PR hype from both the SEC and the B1G. Propaganda works because it’s repetitive and relentless. It usually only gets neutralized when a generation dies off and is replaced by newer generations who weren’t exposed to the propaganda and grow up with a different narrative. No evidence that is going to happen.
Look at merch sales. It’s overwhelmingly SEC and B1G. That’s never going to change.
