More Fluff, but good if you want to get mad at Swarbrick

"Especially since, as one source indicated, the coaches were against a 12-team expansion from the start.

The issues with the 12-team format began well before January. During ACC Kickoff in July, coaches heard a presentation from Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick about the 12-team model that he, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson developed.

But multiple coaches said they were not given much in the way of detail or information about how it would affect the regular season, number of games played, academic schedules, the holidays or bowls outside the playoff.

"Jack tried to swindle us into going for it. That thing got squashed back at ACC media day," one source said."

Unfortunately, the ACC probably came to the realization too late to repair -- VTHokie2000 02/09/2022 6:30PM

What could the ACC have done to alter the pecking order -- Colonel Jessup 02/11/2022 2:06PM

The ACC could have done a couple things differently. -- VTHokie2000 02/12/2022 06:04AM

The schools may care because the realization could influence any -- VTHokie2000 02/11/2022 02:09AM

2031-32 I think rumblings will start. ** -- goldendomer 02/10/2022 2:08PM

That's probably a reasonable target date. Although I could see it -- VTHokie2000 02/10/2022 2:11PM

Glad to see Swarbrick catch some strays. Always seemed like an arsehole. -- Hokie 04 02/09/2022 1:09PM
