addition of Pitt and Syracuse? Anybody think the ACC will get the $20 million a team it will need to be competitive with the 4 leagues with better deals? Think adding Rutgers or UConn adds a nickel?

Even with the qddition of Pitt and Cuse, the ne w deal wil lbe severa lmillion less per tema compared to the Big 12, Big 10 and the $EC.
Now...adding teams like Notre Dame and Penn State would likely result in a more significant increase.

I might have a heart attack from the Laughter it generates...We have a better chance of hiring Joe Pa as our next commish than the ACC does of poaching PSU from the Big 10...Who is going to take a pay cut to come play ACC Football?

Notre Dame is going to find it increasingly more difficult to schedule games as an independent. Ultimately, they are going to be forced to join a conference.

to be a great conference in fotball and basketball but not under the leagues current leadership.
Unless Swofford is forced to resign and the league hires a new commissioner with absolutely no ties to any of the member schools, while I would miss some of the natural rivalries we have established over the years, I would fully support a decision by Clemson to search for a new conference home.

The only way to force Swofford out.....
Feb 7, 2012, 4:29 PM
|
|
is for schools like FSU, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Miami and Clemson to threaten to leave for other leagues if significant change is not structured.
The loss of Clemson and FSU would be devestating. The loss of GT, VT and Miami as well would put an end to ACC football permanently.
A guy can dream can't he?

We can only hope other leagues realize this and that their attempts to raid the league will enable the schools to back Swofford into a corner.

I just don't understand why Swofford seems to believe that he can negotiate the same kinds of TV deals for a basketball dominated league that other football dominated leagues are getting. Maybe he doesn't care (which is more likely the case) and I am just giving him WAY too much credit.

their current TV contract and even the one that ESPN offered them last year when they still had WVU, Pitt, and Syracuse was $110-120 million a year compared to the $155 million a year the ACC currently receives (Soon to be $175 million per year).
