I really don't think there's any value added in replacing a locally produced pregame show specific to the Indiana PAcers (or whoever) with an NBA Today produced in Bristol. Yes you save some amount of money, (1 show instead of 22, 23 if you count the hour it fills for ESPN/2/U/News) but I don't think it amounts to much.

Having the ability to put MLB/NBA/NHL games on ESPN/2/U/News is significant, though. That's actually really bad for college sports, now that I'm absorbing the news.

If ESPN can fill timeslots with pro sports, it doesn't need college sports as much.

Thank goodness the college broadcasting model has changed to Conf Networks and that the ACC Network is with ESPN and launching in 2019! For all the ACC network haters... time to eat CROW!!!!!

Hey, as much as I like to support the ACC and its teams, I'm not counting my crows before they hatch! I do think there are reasons to be optimistic, though.
