What is ridicoulous about his post? It is the truth. Until you can


accept the inherent differences between B1G/SEC and ACC football fanbases you will always be frustrated and trash ACC leadership. I can tell you do to an extent with some of your sentences then you just kind of discount those facts when looking at the bottom line.

You like to reference stuff you've posted on here for years. I'll do the same with the ACC Network. I have been saying for years - even before cord cutting - that the ACC Network could not follow the same model as the SEC/B1G due to the facts presented in this thread. It has been really remarkable to see the school representatives, media, fans, etc. who thought the ACCN could just be added to all providers, get carriage rates in the same ballpark as the SEC/B1G, and get hiked in-footprint rates in states like NY, PA, MA, GA, etc. Swofford is taking the fall for this but he actually should credit for talking FSU and others into signing the GOR and negotiating at least some type of pay increase from ESPN if a network is not launched. ESPN will launch something to avoid the penalty and hopefully get some more revenue but it is going to require ACC fans to subscribe and many know how that will go.
