Luke DeCock has an article up on the coming ACC Network essentially arguing that the ACC is now just a division of ESPN.
Well maybe, maybe not. It may be that ESPN is a short term harbor that disappears or changes radically as viewing patterns change. It could also be that younger people prefer to watch video games to athletic competition. It wouldn’t be the first time that sports have fallen from consciousness. Decades ago, boxing, horse racing and wrestling were huge. You could just about make the same argument about baseball, which at the least has lost its claim to be America’s Past time.
