ACC needs changes:


Mar 15, 2014, 10:08 PM

How in world did John Swofford become commissioner of the ACC? A commissioner should not be affiliated with any member school in the first place. He needs to be fired and replaced by someone that has no ties with any ACC school.

That right there is the problem, holding their breath with nothing coming out against Swoffy. Coaches and AD's need to start screaming that swoffy has to go. That no school in any conference should have the protection by a commissioner that was a graduate of that school. Now is the time to start the screaming with all the dirt being just swept under the rug at uncheat. UNCheat has not only broken all athletic recruiting rules. They have committed fraud in educating the athletes with fraudulent classes that didn't even exist.

Barker was one of his chief henchmen it seemed. Brokered the ND deal

He had to stay on to sweep UNC scandal under the rug.

And he knows his family will be without Raycom post haste as a new commish will send that chit circus packing.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep and his familial allegiance to Raycom is killing revenue


Mar 15, 2014, 10:54 PM

It's why we don't have an ACC network.

Can you think of any other conference that the commissioner.


Mar 16, 2014, 1:37 AM

is so closely related to one of the member universities?

In this case, the member university being a founding member with offices just down the road from it?

Gene Corrigan was commish before Swoffie. He


Mar 16, 2014, 12:45 PM

coached at UVA before he was commissioner. Not as bad as being an alum but not quite kosher either.

Just a reminder that Clemson was the school that nominated Swofford to be commissioner. What were
we thinking?

we don't need facts like that on this site.

Even if it is a "fact", which you have no idea if it is,


Mar 16, 2014, 12:36 PM

..it still doesn't affect the demonstrated poor and biased performance since he's been in that office.

Have any tangible "facts" you'd like to discuss?

And on top of that there will be a NEW contract coming out with Lville,ND, and syracuse joining the ACC that will push the ACC to the Table when all discussions about BCS and NCAA basketball bids being handed out.
