Swofford was fine while college athletics were small time and ...


... ACC was just a basketball conference. Back in those days, a basketball TV contract could be hammered out with first C.D. Chesney, and later with Raycom Sports while playing the back nine of the Greensboro Country Club.

But when college football became big business, along with the accompanying big time television.

Swofford was absolutely in over his head when negotiating TV contracts, and TV networks.

Plus he screwed the pooch when inviting BC and Syracuse. WVU should have been invited.
