[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129527743, member: 1601483"] Tiger, I don't care about the raw numbers, therefore I don't research them.

I'm basing my conclusions on the number of butts not in stadium seats and the apparent broken promise of an ACC network. This is about BC and the realities it is facing as far as athletics.
