ESPN has a 4K broadcast for the College Football Playoff National Championship game that features no commercials. Yes, a commercial-free experience, and it simply shows a view of the stadium during commercial breaks. It’s a beautiful thing.
Well, for the Miami-Indiana CFP national title game on Monday night, a couple happened to be standing right in front of the camera during commercial breaks on the 4K broadcast.
I NEED ALL MY TWITTER INVESTIGATORS!
I’m watching the 4K feed of the #NationalChampionship game and this Indiana couple standing in front of the camera is adorable
Twitter needs to find them because I don’t know if they know they are on camera, but they are too cute #Hoosiers… pic.twitter.com/uqao2IdlN9

After that was the case for an hour, the couple was alerted with text messages showing that they were right in front of the camera.

Their reaction went viral.
And after the situation went viral, ESPN adjusted the camera so that it was above the couple.

Regardless of what the camera is showing, viewers will gladly take it over watching commercials.
