    Holy shit this is weak. The CW was a spin off of the WB or some shit like that. It was sold off and then individual tv station ownership groups would purchase them at a per market agreement. Then, recently, Nexstar - the largest broadcast group in the country, bought all of the CWs. Fun fact, the cw has NEVER operated in the black and this is apparently their move to get it there. Hopefully they have more plans as I’m thinking this and LIV won’t make them profitable.

    CW is out now.

    This leads into Canzano's tweet about "The Pac 12 knowing something the rest of us don't *faggy wink*"

    Oh yeah? What is that? No ESPN, No Fox, No CW, apparently Amazon is out.

    So 100% Apple? That's great. What a fucking trump card. Fucking loser conference.

    I agree, this is weak, but in defense of the ACC, would they rather have a game on CW or ACC Network?

    It makes them some amount of money more than a game on the ACC network, but it's embarrassing nonetheless

    Quietly, the ACC is in a worse spot than the Pac. Which is why FSU, Miami, and Clemson have sought out legal means of leaving.

    It’s all a money grab at this point so I get it. I’ve sold the cw before and it’s what you get for free to buy the primary station.
