Taking his comments on this issue aside, just listening to this guy the other day on Sirus radio, this guy is an idiot. The guy interviewed him asked some pretty good questions, Swofford just talked in circles and made no sense at all. He was asked about sattelite camps, expansion, and to the host's credit, even asked about the North Carolina cheating scandle. Swofford answered none, and sounded like a complete moron. No wonder the ACC can't keep up with other leagues. It's amazing places like Clemson and Fla State have the success they do, they sure don't get any help nationally from this idiot.

Talking in circles is a talent and a big reason he has the job.

ACC network up and going and competing w/ the B1G and SEC so we don't fall further behind. We still have ray com blasting out to hundreds of homes through out the fruited plain. I guess we should be happy about that.

NORTH CAROLINA SELLS OUT OF CONFEDERATE LICENSE PLATES

Thursday, July 09, 2015 07:56PM
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Talk about ending sales of a North Carolina license plate bearing the Confederate battle flag prompted a sales rush that sold out the available stock.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that 152 Confederate flag plates sold out in seven days after Gov. Pat McCrory said North Carolina should stop issuing the tags. State Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Charbonneau says more plates will be available in about 30 days.

People are able to pre-order the specialty plates, and the DOT says many have already submitted their applications.

Cary resident Clyde Ward is hoping to get a hold of the Sons of Confederate Veterans tag once the stock is replenished.

"I have flown Confederate flags in years past," Ward said.

Ward says the flag is part of his lineage.

"It's part of our history. It's not something that is racial, totally. And I just feel that need be, I will go and support it," Ward explained.

The DOT is getting ready to produce 700 more plates, even as McCrory continues to urge the General Assembly to change the law. Legislators are firing back, saying the governor can act on his own if he wants to stop production.

It's costing North Carolina three times as much to make the specialty tags as the regular ones. A standard plate costs $1.62 to produce, while the Confederate plate runs $4.25.

Patrick Busch, one of the Confederate plate's opponents, feels the flag represents the Old South.

"We as taxpayers should have a right to say whether or not this should represent our state," said Busch. "It brings up a lot of hard feelings, a lot of racist feelings from back in the day. And I think, if we as a country are going to move forward, we have to get over that hurdle."

The Confederate plates are scheduled to be back in stock by Aug. 10. They will be made locally at the women's prison in south Raleigh.

Not true. The 2016 ACC Tournament is being held at the

Verizon Center in Washington, DC. It seats 18,277. The coot center, aka Colonial Life Arena, seats 18,000.

I believe future ACC tournaments may be slotted for Madison Square Garden in NYC, which seats 18,200.

Bon Secours Arena in Greenvilke seats 15,000.

Maybe not quite big enough historically, but with dwindling attendance numbers it would probably be adequate in reality. Greenville would be a great host city and would prove to be a popular destination for fans. Certainly not DC or NYC, but better than Greensboro IMO.

I'm sure it will never happen with the current ACC leadership, but it would work.

Not any longer! They haven't been able to sell the ACC Basketball Tournament out for several years now! No where near the demand it previously had!! Three have been empty seats everywhere.

Fire this idiot as commissioner!!! Long overdue.

So does he get to make this decision unilaterally?
