SEC and Big 10 networks - Power 5 becoming the Titanic 2?

Advertisement
ACC needs to wise up and create a tv network. SEC is killing it from the network.
 
IMO, not exactly. But, if you've been paying attention in terms of Power 5 athletics, the importance of football within those conferences, and in light of the autonomy vote earlier this year:

1. The Power 5 are playing a different game. See the autonomy vote.
2. The Big 10 and SEC are the big dogs. Their TV deals make sure of that.
3. The Pac 12 is well aware of this and is pretty forward thinking. It almost added Texas and Oklahoma. Although it is unclear how close "almost" really was, at least it was really in there swinging (and planning). Larry Scott ain't sleepin'.
4. The Big 12 has to figure out what to do about the absence of a title game, but maybe that matters less as the playoffs inevitably go to eight teams.
5. Perhaps more significantly, what happens when Texas doesn't get the Longhorn network renewed at its presently ridiculous price? Do they leave then? If they do, hit the music and everybody dance. And then we'll see how valid those grant of media rights provisions really are.
6. The ACC, well if football drives the 5, the ACC needs to get moving. Right now FSU drives the conference and there is nobody else of national significance. That is the single most important reason that Miami could be relevant again. We are a potential national brand. We've shown we can do it. In terms of college football, we can **** near polarize the nation. There is maybe one other school that can do that, and I will not speak its name. We just haven't mattered for more than a decade. Keep ******** around and we won't ever really matter again.
 
been saying this forever that the ACC should of got a big tv deal. especially Miami when they were the **** in the early 2000's. we royally failed there. would of made up for all this small private school bs not having enough money

Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio state are all big brands. Sure Penn St. and Michigan might suck now but they still pull in tons of fans and money. 2 of the biggest stadiums in the world are packed every game for the B1G with Penn State and Michigan. So while they might be trash, they have more fans at 1 game then we have a 5 combined.
 
Funny hearing ACC fans trash other conferences.

The third and fourth biggest brands in the ACC(UM VT) have the resume of an average mid major.
 
We are the worst team that's in the worst division that's in the worst conference of the power five.

ACC is run like we are, with disinterest. ACC could be a great conference but they're so inept it never reaches its potential as a conference

As long as basketball clowns in the Carolinas are allowed to continue to call the shots in the ACC then don't expect our little comference ever to really play with the big boys- even if we manage to produce a superior football product. Good ol' Swoffy would sooner lose the one nut he has left that upset Coach Ghey or Good Ol' Boy Roy.
 
acc won the championship..JUST LAST YEAR.

ACC is a better conference than the Big 10 year in year out imo.

We suck...that doesnt mean the acc as a whole is bad....idont get the acc hate..when big 10 is a joke the last few years....guess because we are in the south and the sec seems to overshadow

Yeah, it kind of does mean the ACC sucks. The two biggest ratings draws in college football for years have been THE U and ND. Our failure to continue to play real football opened the window for SEC to recover and dominate. If the administration would just get out of the way after getting us a decent coach, Canes football would again be MUST SEE tv, with the nole game being highest rated game each year. Heck it still gets good numbers - even before Rapist. What NC game could out rate Miami vs fsu, ND, osu, UF, NE, OU, Bama, **** USC or just about anyone else. Miami v ND would rival Super Bowl in sets tuned in and be a monster global too.

Our best hope is for the ACC to grab Miami by the neck and tell them to deliver what they were brought in for or GET THE **** OUT. The only way ACC can compete for its own network is Miami and noles to be what they were and every game the play mattering in NC race. Then if you get ND for football too, you have a network for the nation while sec and big 10 become regional powers. We would hold the keys to the vault if BOT only cared.
 
In U.S. and A. they treat horses like we in Kazakhstan treat our women. They feed them two times a day. They have them sleep on straw in a small box. And for entertainment, they make them jump over fences while being whipped.
