I think the ADs and Presidents have asserted themselves as a result
of the delays in the network. I don't trust Swofford at all. Hell, he may very well be connected to the cheating scandal at UNC. But I do trust Whit Babcock and Tim Sands and even FSU president John Thrasher. They all know the stakes, they understand the role sports plays in the viability of their institutions and they aren't blindly relying on Swofford to dictate their future. There is a reason the AD's met directly with ESPN.
And to be clear, things like scheduling still totally favor the tobacco road elite. But the broad direction where the conference is today (not five years ago), yes, I'm comfortable. [Post edited by daveinop at 04/06/2017 1:10PM]
