From the article: We can draw a few conclusions from this data.

• The ACC is the third most-popular league behind the SEC and Big Ten.
• On average, the ACC draws roughly the same as the Big Ten, although the B1G has an edge when it comes to top games.
• Top ACC games (ABC Saturday Night Football) draw about the same as Notre Dame.
• The ACC is off to a good start on The CW (tier 3 football games), but it needs another hundred thousand viewers or two.

Kinda crazy cw pulls bigger numbers than espn2 and about the same as fs1. And no one randomly tunes into the cw for sports like they may for the other two

CW production is surprisingly good.

Now think about how things would be if we weren’t all being drowned by the Swofford/espn deal.

It isn’t CW. It is Raycom/Jefferson Pilot or whatever, same people that have been doing ACC for years. They just broadcast it on CW.

Everyone wants to hear Wes Durham call a football game.

From my corner of the football world, there's a lot of folks that will watch only watch ESPN as a last resort. Seems like the CW numbers give credence to that

I only watch live events on ESPN. No studio shows or shoutfests at all. Hell, I quit watching GameDay a decade ago.

ESPN could go bankrupt and that would be fine with me. And take Disney with them.

And then you would be crying that you can't watch GT football on TV.

If ESPN and all the TV agreements went away, I don't think it would be that hard for each school to run its own stream of games. You might not get all the fancy graphics, but you could easily have the radio team call the game over some basic live footage of the game.

You make it sound so compelling.

Well if it gets us away from 1 hour of commercials over a 3 hour game and gets the TV execs to stop meddling, I'll take it.

Hard to argue with that.

well then they must have fired everyone and restaffed, because CW production has been way better than the raycom/FSS/bally days. i did not notice any raycom advertising, only acc on cw.

i'm thinking may also have to do with all the cord cutters. CW is OTA, espn2 is not.

Definitely the case for me. Even though I have SlingTV during the CFB season.
