Please listen to this clip as to what the announcers said after the men's 4 x 400 at ACCs. It was super tight heading in with lots of teams in the hunt for the team title and when it was over, here is what the announcers saod/
UVA looks like they are going to get it. If they got 5th, that gives them 4 points and it looks like UVA would win by a half a point over Clemson's 92. UVA wins the time title- we are very sure of that. Of course, we'll all feel better when it goes up on the scoreboard.
One small problem. UVA ended up 3rd in the team standings.
Can someone please explain what happened here? At the start of the race, they put up a graphic showing Clemson had 82 points and UVA had 85.5. After Clemson won the race (10 points) and UVA got 5th (4 points), why did both announcers think UVA was the team champ?
