The ACC Review Broadcast Experiment Should Become the Standard
I’m not sure what the overall consensus is, but this was an absolute grand slam of an idea and I genuinely wish every conference would implement it into their broadcasts.
I watched more ACC games this past season than I normally do for one main reason: getting to watch the review process unfold in real time. It’s refreshing to finally have transparency and see all the intricate details that go into decisions that look simple on the surface.
I think fans mainly hate reviews because:
- The final decision sometimes doesn’t make sense
- Reviews take too long
- Commercials
Having the review process integrated into the broadcast solves a lot of that. It removes a ton of the confusion and doubt around decisions, and while the reviews still take the same amount of time, that time becomes far more engaging for viewers instead of just dead air and commercials. Less commercials and more insight is a win for fans without really changing the timing of the game.
How long do you think it’ll be before other conferences start adopting this into their broadcasts, if they ever do (less commercials = less money)?
Did you personally enjoy, feel indifferent to, dislike it?
