"Wonderful", now even more Thursday night games for Ga Tech. 
for some inane reason ESPN loves putting us on Thursday.

They pretty much have to play on Thursday's seems like ESPN has about ALL the major conferences locked up, with only 3 channels to show it all.
Maybe they will actually open up the ESPN Alt channels now.
The Big Ten has thier contracts with ESPN for ESPN, 2 and ABC, then the SEC was added and now the CC, where are they putting all this ?
Maybe the ACC will start playing games regularly on Tuesdays too !

Wasn't football that ESPN was going after. The ACC actually does Basketball really good, something unknown to non-UK SEC schools.
You haven't even seen the SEC package yet.
Big Ten package is 1
Sec package is 2
ACC package is 4-5 maybe 6th.
On a consistant basis? Even the Wac has had Mythical National Champions before (BYU), but I'd hardly call them a power football conferenceDidn't Florida win back-to-back just a few years ago?
Not really. ESPN already had the football games (hence Ga/Va Tech's regular appearance on Sunday nights). This deal won't result in more ACC football on ESPN/ABC. If anything, this will increase ESPN's broadcasting of the basketball games (formally held by Raycom). Basketball drove this deal, not football.
Hardly what, the discussion was about the ACC part of this scenario.
As for your comment about the Big Ten, you should know by now that ESPN has been with the Big Ten for quite some time now, how can you say that the SEC has a more prevalent schedule.
IF the SEC is going to take the 12-1 pm time slot then thats a different story, but I don't see that happening.
After reading the article you quoted, it still sounds like it's highly regional ....
The Big SEC game will be on TV like always and the Big Big Ten games will also be on as always.
Remember, the SEC already has the 8 pm time slot and the Big Ten has the 12-1 PM time slot and it's a who's who for the 3:30 time slot.
This is no different than the Big Ten Network where the lower rung games will be available on the Big Ten Network.
The SEC games (lower games) will be on the Lower ESPN nets.
I don't see the Florida / Alabama game being on ESPN U

typoACC Sunday night games ?
Going head to head with the NFL ?
Good Luck with that
I meant Thursday nights.
Florida plays Miami(OH) in their opener 9/4 on ESPN at NOON.
Week 2 also has Georgia/S.Car NOON on ESPN.
Where are you getting this info from.
I know Ohio State plays on the Thursday before .
Is Florida on ESPN or 2 or 3 or U or regional ?
Very possible that the SEC and Big Ten would both play at Noon, each on thier side of the network.
BTW, are we gonna have a ESPN NORTH and an ESPN South now ?
