not only does he have no idea what he's talking about the comparison he's using between the BIG and ACC is just tremendously off base.
You may know the sport but I know big picture thinking and greed. I will say it again, if ESPN can make money off it, it will happen. B1G is using it to fill programming on the BTN, and if advertisers pay, it will grow. What does ESPN answer with? The only 2 they control are the ACC and the SEC. Which of the two will be easier to build out hockey from. I an going to guess the ACC.
Look at the Big 5
BTN = FOX
SEC TV = ESPN
ACC TV = ESPN
B12 = FOX
PAC = both

What do you not understand about these facts.
Every team but one in the new BIG hockey conference has had D1 hockey for decades, and most of those teams played in the same league. The ACC would require almost all new programs, and removing the flagship team in college hockey's flagship conference.
BIG is comprised of hockey states, ACC is not.
D1 hockey is totally different than other sports, it isn't going to align with the major conferences because the majority of D1 hockey teams aren't football and basketball schools.
