[QUOTE="Golden Tornadoes, post: 973852, member: 5881"] Oh you're 100% right. ESPN owns the south and the east. FOX has every other part of the country. It's really aggravating though because as soon as the SEC network was created, ESPN pushed the whole "it just means more" mantra and everybody bought in. Now, the ACC negotiates a contract with ESPN and instead of pushing the ACC, ESPN still only pushes the SEC. So much so, that when a ACC vs SEC matchup is played, it gets placed on the SEC network with very biased announcers favoring the SEC team. If ESPN were smart, they would push both products and then tout the SEC vs ACC games as heavyweight fights to further up the ROI money they would receive. Also, they would place these games played on ACC turf on the ACC Network to improve the network validity amongst new potential viewers. It's simple really, if the SEC team is home, put it on the SEC Network. If the ACC team is home, put it on the ACC Network. If it's a higher profile game, put it on ESPN, ESPN 2, or ABC. Look, I know our football team has been hot garbage over the past few years, but when I turned on the tv to watch us play ugag, I didn't need announcers taking every break in the action to remind the viewers how bad we were and how great ugag was/is. It was painfully obvious on the field and didn't need any help from the announcers. If I want any chance at consuming a "disinterested" viewpoint, I might as well listen to our radio call. At least there they call the game pretty down the middle with a lean towards the Jackets. [/QUOTE]
