Heather - It is not about faring better or worse...it is about mismanaged interests and money!

I read that early this morning and dismissed it as ambiguous at best. Contradictions are rampant in that paragraph alone and the cheap shot about FSU being to broke to pay their way out of the ACC was not even slightly entertaining.

Perhaps this young lady took that particular approach because she was asked to handle that side of the debate and had no recourse other than ridicule that borders on slander to FSU. Perhaps she was being honest in which case I would check my next sammich to insure she included the mayo.

Big East is in worse shape so we should stay?


Jun 5, 2012, 11:36 AM

Yeah try again Heather and I'm still waiting for my classic, easy to make, ham and cheese with a bit of spicy mustard.

What I find most interesting in it isn't directly said. But the ESPN heads have gone from "that will never happen" to talking about it as certainty. It's just a matter of time.

Re: They both collapse as major football conferences


Jun 5, 2012, 11:44 AM

...that's what happens Heather. If you're Clemson you're doing everything you can to find another home because the ACC's goose is cooked. It's about TV revenue, and the ACC doesn't have enough to compete with the Big Boys thanks to Swofford's mis-management. Barring a miracle, the ship has sailed and the ACC (along with the Big Least) is done.

Anybody who thinks the ACC can or will compete is either very young, or doesn't have a full grasp of the particulars. Heather is falls under the latter, with most of the rest of the National Media types.

Swofford didnt mismanage it


Jun 5, 2012, 11:59 AM

He handled exactly how he wanted to. He is in bed with Raycom and did everything he could to sell that and ACC basketball. He was just too arrogant to think schools wouldnt just take it.

Wish I could be there when she gets the news


Jun 5, 2012, 11:55 AM

and learns she'll be covering Uconn, Rutgers, and the like, or out of a job all together. Not having to read her stupid blog is enough reason to leave the ACC.

Nice! Heather never looked better!;)

The most suptid conference debate ever...I'm now dumber


Jun 5, 2012, 1:01 PM

for even reading that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

These two are so far behind the curve...


Jun 5, 2012, 1:41 PM

...it's just sad, lol.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Both conferences are in trouble. Why?


Jun 5, 2012, 2:07 PM

Just look at who ESPN hires to cover them. If the ACC and Big East were relevant, they wouldn't hire these morons to write about it.

Reading their banter was like watching two monkeys hump a doorknob.

The best football programs will find new homes in the Big 12, SEC, and maybe the B1G. Those left behind in the ACC and Big East will merge into the ACC to make a good basketball conference with 2nd rate football.

The only question now is, who gets left behind? Wake Forest will no doubt have to stay in the ACC. Duke is in big trouble as well.

I hate to tell her this


Jun 5, 2012, 4:21 PM

But Clemson does have the money if they want to leave....and although FSU says they are running a deficit, if they want to leave the money will magically appear there too.

All she ever adds is her opinion, which is always very pro-


Jun 5, 2012, 5:17 PM

ACC. She never seems to do any objective analysis or talk to major players and get their opinion. Honestly, she sounds as if Swofford has her on the ACC's payroll.

Jun 5, 2012, 5:22 PM

i was thinking the same thing...does she work for the ACC and ESPN?...nothing but propaganda!
