Swofford actually blames the football schools for the new TV


May 11, 2012, 1:24 PM

deal being so low. He suggested in an interview that if our traditional football schools had performed better on the national stage, we would have gotten more.

How convenient that he forgot that the reason the football schools weren't competitive is that while the SEC was busy adding a championship game and changing the face of the game, he was sitting on his butt for 10+ years getting passed by every other conference in the nation!

By the time that ###### finally got a clue, FSU and Miami were past their prime, and Clemson, well just look what the ACC has done to us over the years. All we had the last few years was VT, and he didn't even want them until UVA forced his hand!

Yeah, it's all our fault Swoffie...blame it on the football schools...you moron.

He conveniently forgot to mention the stain UNC left on the carpet of college football.

You have an article citing this?

Just imagine what the contract would be without those schools.

I dislike Swofford as much as anyone...

I absolutely agree that we need new leadership in the ACC. But he has a good point, especially about FSU & Miami.

Think about this. We inked the deal with Miami prior to the 2003 season. They were just over a year removed from an MNC, and just months removed from an overtime loss to OSU in their 2nd straight MNC game. How was he, or anyone else, to know that Miami was going to fall off a cliff like they did?

The ACC has 12 teams, about to be 14. We need 2 or 3 of them to step up and perform on the national stage. That would help our TV money and money in general. The fact that he points that out during an interview doesn't wash away his many sins. But his many sins don't make that point invalid.

No No No!!! What we really need is for FSU, Miami, VT, GT and Clemson to get the H&ll out of the acc. Then swofford can get the acc a deal worth about 12 mil a year per school.
