Something I Wonder About, But Have No Interest in Ever Seeing

PrintA thought occurs to me. Ever since the ACC expanded to 12 teams, the last-place finisher is the team left out of the following season's ACC-Big 10 Challenge. The eleven matchups, however, are chosen by ESPN to maximize viewership. Should UNC finish dead last in conference – not likely with State, but sadly still a possibility – would ESPN leave Carolina out next season, or would that policy suddenly change?
I'm going with the latter, but would prefer to never see my theory put to the test.

The Heels are like the Cowboys or the Lakers
They will always be a marquee primetime television selection. The history cannot be destroyed in a year.

Interesting....
I think ESPN would do everything in their power to get NC in the challenge. Espcially with Barnes coming in next year, no way ESPN leaves them out.
