What's this?

If you are Dan Radakovich right now, what are you thinking?


He was almost the face of the conference when they were hand-holding Swofford as the current TV deal was forged, following through on the ACCN, etc. He was providing very public assurances that the ACC was in a competitive place. And now just a couple years later, maybe we're not even close to competitive and Clemson fans want to bolt.

He's now on the Alliance Committee. Who is he happy with, or unhappy with? Who does he trust? Clemson is a marquee TV team right now so they are a big part of any scheduling discussion. Maybe they trust Swarbrick and know they would like to have ND in the conference. Or maybe they feel totally burned. I have no idea but relationships are probably more complicated than they were just a couple of months ago.

  Finebaum is as connected to ESPN and the SEC as anyone on the planet. -- Stech 08/17/2021 8:07PM
  May sound silly but he could easily get deposed if ESPN -- daveinop 08/17/2021 8:24PM
  I hear you, but that’s going to be really hard to prove, these guys know -- Stech 08/17/2021 8:31PM

  The question is, is he right or wrong? Is ESPN/SEC stoppable? I'm not sure -- Stech 08/17/2021 12:35PM
  The ACC gives ESPN access to whatever this "alliance" does. Gives the ACC -- wwhokie1 08/17/2021 5:05PM
