What's this?

College Football is trending down, but college basketball seems upward

right now. The average ticket in Cameron for UNC Duke last night was selling for $2500 the announcers said. It was packed with celebrities including a former President. Duke UVa had a similar situation too.

That should help the ACC Channel launch if it continues because the games in the ACC are off the chart right now. Much like SEC regular season football...very compelling match-ups.

That would be hilarious. Have a camera on him for the 2+ hours. Make it -- reestuart 02/22/2019 08:52AM

It will need a 30 second delay -- mrcaniac 02/22/2019 2:46PM

That's why I'm saying it needs to be uncensored. Maybe make it a ref cam. -- reestuart 02/22/2019 2:59PM
