ACC Network to be Broadcast out of Bristol?

ESPN To Run ACC Network At Bristol HQ, With 70 Jobs

Foreshadowing or just a slap in the kisser?

I'd rather the state have the jobs then not. Uconn super fans need to infiltrate the producer positions. A good start would be to always refer to UConn as "ACC Member #16 in waiting."

Swofford trolling hard

How about just a run of the mill, sound business decision? If ESPN is running the network, why put it anywhere other than where you have existing infrastructure?

 

[Hamms30]

Without being super familiar with the SEC network, the article almost made it sound like the infrastructure was down there in Charlotte too. Can't argue that there is no capacity up here though, so fair point.

Slap in the kisser.

Slap in the kisser.

Not sure that's the only orifice violated here..

I thought ESPN moved a ton of operations to Charlotte? Why not run the network from the middle of the conference. 70 jobs isn't saving the state. Invite us or .

Actually Charlotte has been shedding more jobs to Bristol over the past few years.

ESPN layoffs hit Charlotte offices

The technical infrastructure is superior in Bristol.

Slap in the kisser. Or, two big fat middle fingers to our face(s). Your choice which one is better.

Is 55 too old to throw eggs and then run away?

Gonna be hard to broadcast those games with me crashing my car into their dish every Saturday.

I'm only 54 so I'll throw- you can be the wheel man.

I'm 53. I can assist man down with a hamstring tear after first 25 yards . Car should be parked and running no more 40 yards from the objective.
