What's this?

I don't see that so much with basketball.

With Jay Bilas, Jay Williams, and Seth Greenberg as the primary talking heads, ESPN was heavy ACC. And Dick Vitale is DukieV. I think they push Big XII basketball second.

It is the case with football that the SEC gets the most hype. But Clemson is doing a good job countering some of that. They need more ACC talking heads for football. I was disappointed that they fired Danny Kanell.

I agree on basketball, I was just giving my observation on the draft. -- Stech 06/22/2019 07:50AM

Have you heard any reason as to why Kanell was fired? -- VTHokie2000 06/21/2019 1:06PM

No. I say fired, but it was a layoff of over 100 people. -- HOO86 06/21/2019 3:12PM

It is possible that the ACC may be to blamed (or partially blamed) -- VTHokie2000 06/21/2019 10:33AM

I agree with you, but ESPN/Disney also has to factor in its wallet too -- VTHokie2000 06/21/2019 11:03AM
