Lets wait and see how ESPN covers the ACC media days. So far though they have been kinder than usual but yeah, of course, the SEC has been given more attention.

Not really addressing attention from SEC media day.
I am addressing the huge number of SEC analyst that are now working and being hired by SEC vs those who are ACC analyst.
Given the launch of the SEC Network, I wouldn't expect anything other than an increase in SEC analyst. Even if there wasn't a launch of the SEC network, wouldn't you expect to see more personalities coming from the conference with the greatest amount of success in football. You see the total opposite when it comes to bball.

Does this concern anyone else?
Is it wise to sell out to a network where your conference is an after thought?
Nope.
And, the ACC is not an afterthought -- methinks you have them confused with the AAC.
What I found more concerning was the ESPN PR folks, on Twitter and Facebook, acting more like conference PR people. I didn't see them promoting the TV network as much as I saw them promoting the coaches, players, etc. more.
I suppose that will be the norm, but it kinda bothered me seeing/reading it for some reason. The conference has its own PR staff. Felt like they had two.

Were those ESPN folks alumni of SEC schools by any chance?

Did you really expect an answer of "Everything is fine! Everything is wonderful!" in the land of unicorns and rainbows?
