I could (but don’t) fork out the extra dough to get the Sports tier on Suddenlink (ACC=405). And no doubt my country relations on the ridge could chip in for the extra package on Dish or Direct. But the future is streaming, which is where the Big 12 Network can be found. That poses a problem in WV, as the state ranks low for reliable broadband coverage. We’ll see how it plays out; our athletic director is a former associate commissioner in the ACC, and the university has been promoting its academic bona fides in the social mediasphere.
