A note to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Stick to basketball. Today's championship game between Virginia Tech and Boston College could not even garner a sell out in Jacksonville, Florida. There were so many empty seats, ABC did their due diligence to avoid showing crowd shots. Last year.......In the game that featured Georgia Tech and Wake Forest......the weather was horrible. The attendance was predictably lousy. But today was a beautiful December afternoon in Jacksonville -- with the top two ACC teams facing off..........and still.......no sell out....lots of empty seats.
Toward the end of Virginia Tech's 30-16 win over Boston College......I switched over to CBS's SEC Championship game featuring LSU and Tennessee. What a difference! Full house in the Georgia Dome.......Electricity......Energy.....Enthusiasm!
The ACC only sold out the Jacksonville stadium once in their inaugural championship game when Florida State was there. Jacksonville is in the last year of it's contract to host the game....so we'll probably get a change of venue.......In the mean time......ACC? Stick to basketball.
