We go from CBS and a great broadcast crew

I thought you told me the ACC "cracker" network was topnotch? Outside of NC, the ACC network consists of tin cans strung together with kite string.

That can double as a phone....Innovation!

Well, unfortunately there are $22 million reasons we joined the ACC. Televising regular season hoops games between "newcomers" wasn't one of them.

I believe the ACC football syndication is throughvRaycom which supposedly has some nepotism connection to Swofford but I don't know all the details of the basketball broadcast contracts. I guess ESPN has the rights. It was posted previously that we were told to move the game to Tuesday if we wanted a better broadcast outlet. We declined and this is what we got.

If we want better, we probably have to earn it. Duke put us on national TV. Pitt-VT is really only worth an Andy of Mayberry quality show right now. The market speaks.

Not THAT many years ago, I had to drive to the top of a neighbrhood hill and sit in my car on a winter night to listen to WTAE AM fade in and out while San Clancy outplayed Mike Gminski and beat Duke. ESPN 3 and streaming video is infinitely better than that. Buy a Roku, Chrknecast, AppleTV, or Slingbox.

I understand the move. And I generally don't have any complaints about ESPN3. And I have Chromecast. The previous broadcasts I watched on ESPN3 when we played teams I barely ever heard of weren't too bad. This one was ridiculous. I don't want to list specifics as I could be here for an hour. Everything was bad. If it has to be on ESPN3 occasionally until we earn better so be it. But it should be better than what occurred Wednesday evening.

That definitely was the exception to the rule.
