It is full speed ahead until some changes the plan and then it may


be all stop. I understand why Swofford sent out the memo and I don't think it was the wrong thing to do because it can help quiet the waters. Assuming there is the possibility that linear network won't come to fruition, then it raises at least 2 questions. Is it in ESPN's best interest for Skipper to give Swofford this much advance warning? If Skipper did convey a similar message to Swofford, then is it in Swofford's best interest to pass it on to the rest of the ACC? The more people are aware of the possibility, then the more likely that message is shared with the media. Once the message is shared with the media, then the easier it becomes for the waters to turn choppy. Why force yourself to deal with choppy waters when you can avoid it or at least delay it for a later date?
