Thanks to Sylvia Hatchell for sharing what we already knew.
Hatchell of John Swofford: "Even though he's the commissioner, there's no doubt his blood is Carolina blue." Sure NCSU fans love that one

Whenever I see comments like these I am always reminded of how “Commissioner” Swofford accompanied UNC-CHeats to their NCAA hearings in Indianapolis in 2011 (reportedly at the request of Holden Thorp) but never could find the motivation to accompany any other ACC program to their infractions meetings in Indianapolis….EVER. Similar to Sylvia Hatchell’s comments here, Swofford’s presence at the hearings were explained honestly by a member of the UNC contingent who said that John was there “as a Tar heel”. (Can any readers do me a favor and find that old snippet and quote out there? I’m running short on time.)
I genuinely appreciate it when the ‘good ones’ over there don’t even try to hide the bias. I don’t see why they should — the rest of the league is stupid enough to accept it hook, line and sinker from their ‘leader’. So why should the baby blues even bother hiding it?! Good for Sylvia!
