He was grilled for two hour. I don't understand why the ACC doesn't give copies of the TV contract to all the schools.

Let's translate this article . . .


Jul 22, 2012, 2:59 PM

Barker gave the BOT the Swoffie-Aid and they drank it to the dregs!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That ignores the fact that Swaffie was summoned and...


Jul 22, 2012, 3:07 PM

complied. It also ignore that he was questioned for two hours.

So what is up ... something is up !

Humm Loveafest with ACC ?

This never would of happened if everything was peachy ?

Exactly. This dude is full of crap. It ain't all rainbows

and butterflies. There's a reason you've never had to do something like this in your 15 years, you idiot. I hope we gave him some lube before we threatened him with leaving.

It is a nice change of pace to have the conversation


Jul 22, 2012, 3:03 PM

Clemson-centric at the moment. We all know words mean nothing in these sorts of things, but I think Clemson was just asserting itself as a prominent member of the league in terms of revenue and football.

I hope that some where in this meeting it was brought up how absolutely wrong it was to equally share bowl winnings with the schools that has no intentions to ever field a team that could possibly play in a BCS bowl and a BCS NC game. Sharing of that money with those schools puts the schools that do put forth the money it takes to be a championship contender at a financial disadvantage.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


You said it! That part of the contract kills me....


Jul 22, 2012, 4:15 PM

While other schools should get some $$$, I believe, at minimum, the schools that go to bowl games should get their own money. I know that is asking too much (or is it???).

Second option (which is a WAY better option than what we have now): Reward the schools based off ACC finish with the the schools finishing at the top getting a higher percentage of total pot, instead equal share.

1/5th - 1st place Team (Clemson, same thing...)
1/8th
1/9th
1/10th
1/11th
1/12th
1/13th
1/14th
1/15th
1/16th
1/17th
1/20th - Last place team (or, Duke...same thing)

I figure it might be touch off....


Jul 22, 2012, 4:51 PM

If there is an overage, give it us. I've I over shot it, take it away from Duke & BC.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes. I like your second option. Give them incentive.***

But then you have to do the same thing with Basketball, and then the order would be nearly reversed.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There is only one school, Duke, that has no chance to play


Jul 22, 2012, 5:04 PM [ in reply to Re: It is a nice change of pace to have the conversation ]

in BCS bowl.

Swoffie is confident about holding on to Clemson because


Jul 22, 2012, 3:08 PM

it's unlikely Clemson would ever leave to join a Big 12 halfway across the country. The only way he would lose Clemson is if the SEC came calling. And the liklihood of a SEC invite is practically zero. Consequently, he is holding on to clemson tightly, by the cojones.

What amazes me most......


Jul 22, 2012, 4:00 PM

is the fact this is historical. Why isn't this a common practice? Shouldn't Swofford visit all ACC schools on a regular basis?

I wonder if anyone invited him to the cook out?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Thinking the same thing


Jul 22, 2012, 4:23 PM

How many trips to UNC do you think he's taken over the years (even if it wasn't to meet their BOT...something he said he's never done).

Good on Barker, Terry Don & the BOT to get him here.

Maybe we can get Ron Cherry, the AJC and Korncoot in next so we can give them the Biddness too!!!

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think he does meet with Presidents and ADs on a regular

I still say, no matter the public statements, this is good


Jul 22, 2012, 6:05 PM

for Clemson. Just the fact that there was such a meeting speaks volumes, and Swofford came away with a clear understanding that Clemson is serious about football and expects the ACC to be also; and the BOT is educating themselves in case they need to make a decision. I think signals were sent, and signals were received. And I have never been in the leave-ACC camp.

"educational opportunity" pompous arrogant AND condescending


Jul 22, 2012, 8:19 PM

You get sommoned to account for your failings and shortcomings; and your response is that the BOT needed an "education". Listen swoffie, THE Clemson Board does not need an education. Your failings are obvious to EVERyONE. While I did not want to leave the ACC we all want to leave you. Take your tv contract, mandatory 9 conference games, Syracuse, and your sorted UNC past and save us the trouble of a no confidence vote and step down NOW!
