We are streaming ACC’s Operation Basketball from Charlotte live in this link that you should check out if you have some time. The Commissioner of the ACC just finished his time at the podium and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read the writing on the wall — John Swofford is bad for business, […]
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 — Harold Gutmann (@haroldgut) October 3, 2014 Whenever I see comments like these I am always reminded of how “Commissioner” Swofford accompanied […]
Tidbits from Day 1, where Swofford led off with his “State of the ACC” address. John Swofford: @theACC became the second conference to win the nat'l champ and a second BCS bowl last year. The SEC did it four times 98-13. — Aaron Brenner (@Aaron_Brenner) July 20, 2014 Swofford: "We as a conference are strongly […]
We all knew this was inevitable, even before Boeheim started whining incessantly about Denny’s and Greensboro. Considering Wednesday’s GT-BC game could’ve been played at Page and there’d have been tickets available, this will make for an interesting viewing experience. Pete Thamel (SI.com): The Atlantic Coast Conference is finalizing details for a multi-year agreement to play […]
SFN recently asked Debbie Yow about the current non-conference scheduling policy (click here for a refresher). She commented that the ACC is discussing “alternate scheduling models,” which could have been a reference to the once-planned nine-game league schedule that was scrapped once Notre Dame became a partial member (more info about this recently in the […]
If you can avoid getting too nauseous, this will be good “Sunday read”. [snip] he did what he has done for the past 10 years. He very quietly took decisive action to strengthen — and possibly save — his conference. Swofford may look like he stepped out of a Brooks Brothers ad and into a […]
So, the ACC is reviewing the controversial play discussed here and embedded below? Where have we heard that before? I hope you will forgive us at SFN if our experiences on this topic leaves us more than just a little cynical. Please wake us if the real story here ever develops by conference brass in […]
After seeing Wake Forest lose to Wofford, Florida State lose to Princeton and BC lose to Rhode Island, I started wondering what the ACC looked like when Swofford became the commissioner and how that compared to the mess we are seeing today. Swofford became the commissioner in 1997. Here are where the ACC teams in […]
  @ArmstrongWTVDMark Armstrong Just ran into UNC group. Understandably, no one’s talking tonight. Swofford is here as well.   I wonder why he would be there.  Certainly he must also have been on hand personally to help out Georgia Tech when they had their hearing and plans to be there for Miami when they have business in […]
The 2011 ACC Football Kickoff is ongoing in Pinehurst. Here are some quick tidbits: *The media picked Florida State and Virginia Tech to repeat as Atlantic and Coastal champions, respectively (TheACC.com), and picked State to finish third in the Atlantic (GoPack.com). *Redshirt sophomore cornerback Jarvis Byrd will miss the season with a torn ACL (WRAL.com).
