Two years ago, with sports leagues shut down and no one knowing when they would resume, Stacey Moore refused to let a pandemic go to waste. 
Moore, the 52-year-old founder of the American Cornhole League, figured out how to socially distance competitors to put his pros back on the court. Then, he took advantage of ESPN’s dearth of live programming and nabbed a seven-week run of four-hour tournament broadcasts — a stretch that helped the ACL win, by far, the highest level of exposure in its six-year existence.
