    1- No but they also have most of those game populating the ACC Network. Clemson, FSU, Miami, and whoever has the ND scheduling agreement games make up most of the games that actually make it to ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU so the Wake Forest & Duke football claim is mostly a red herring. 26 of their...

    Exactly. FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, Duke MBB, VT, Louisville, and NC State all on the cheap for over a decade isn't getting ripped up unless dragged kicking and screaming.

    Rhule Fired

    Depends on the coach and skill set. Rhule was always a talent developer & program culture guy. Not exactly as important at the NFL level as in College.

    Williams & Blum: Phone booth football

    The crazy thing is that ISU's first three drives averaged 54 yards. The next 7? 14. Only one longer than 30 and two longer than 10.

    Exactly. It is a good example that network can elevate a game above what that matchup usually gets (KU-WVU never sniffs 1M on cable) but that you need a good matchup to get to what ABC would typically average.

    That's where possibly raiding the P12 for 2-4 teams may make sense. You get 6-10 late home games to sell that don't conflict with noon/afternoon windows and more interest outside your region for all parties involved.
