Exactly swofford was played


First he was trusted on unc relationship fo get rhe inside deal- yeah he got the deal. (Guess the unc snake mentality is not just in the athletic dept) .

Second swofford was faced with some serious departures with fsu and clemson demanding a network and maryland leaving. If he didn't get the network it is questionable that acc would be here.. he didn't have many cards. Think espn had acc boxed in.

Third some blame go to the football schools - the vt fsu miami - they took the acc money to balance the books instead to ratchet it up. They were in the acc bubble. Acc didn't have the product to sell.

I do think there is something going on behind the scenes…its going to involve the programs who want to put money on the table. Its in the ncaa transformation committee.

I also think vt is in much better shape to play in this world- alot of pry reconstruction of football operations is a model that other programs of the athletic dept should evolve.
