ACC TV rating

No surprise.  FSU brings TV ratings.  Always has.  Even in the 'lost decade' when Swofford blamed his shit deal on FSU.

Looking only at ACC Conference games televised on ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2 and not including ESPNU games or split/mirror games where two match-ups are shown in the same time slot here is what I have for 2012-2017:

FSU - 34 games; average 3.735 million viewers
Clemson - 33 games; average 3.388 million viewers
L'Ville - 18 games; average 2.822 million viewers
Miami - 28 games; average 2.766 million viewers
GT - 18 games; average 2.357 million viewers
VT - 21 games; average 2.238 million viewers

So after FSU and Clemson it depends what someone weights more -

Number of games? (although the Cards would be handicapped somewhat since they weren't in the league for two of those six years)

Average number of viewers? (here the Cards are helped by the fact that they play the top two teams annually, whereas Miami and GT only play one of them annually and VT is hampered by the fact that they play neither of them annually)

Now what happens when OOC games are used and the networks expand to include NBC, CBS and FOX in addition to ABC, ESPN and ESPN2?

FSU - 47 games; average 4.363 million viewers
Clem - 46 games; average 3.524 million viewers
VT - 28 games; average 2.950 million viewers
Miami - 34 games; average 2.890 million viewers
L'ville - 22 games; average 2.754 million viewers
GT - 23 games; average 2.499 million viewers
