- Broadcast HQ will be in ACC footprint, not SEC
Charlotte is more SEC than ACC, regardless of how the ACC tries to present it or support the city. There are far more SEC fans in Charlotte than ACC fans. Charlotte is far closer to Columbia, SC than to the RTP and tobacco road.
Charlotte is no more ACC dominated than is Atlanta.

It is not a question of the town. It is who ESPN employs, and those folks are ACC both in front of the camera and behind the scenes on the staff. If you think this is changing you are not paying attention. Host Communications was founded in the SEC and pro SEC. It employed SEC kids out of school and it was located in SEC turf. Host was bought by IMG College and the first thing they did was move it to ACC country and employing ACC folks at the entry level.
Tell me how ESPN is not a repeat of this?
