Swofford: "Hey guys! We are creating a restaurant so that we can pay you equally!"
ACC School President: "So what happens when the Big Ten creates it's own restaurant line?"
Swofford: :muttering:
I love how people constantly think this is Swofford's idea. Swofford's bosses are the university presidents and chancellors. He works under them and for them collectively. Every single one of them. Swofford doesn't just come up with ideas and then put them into action unilaterally or by himself. Swofford may come up with an idea but it is up to the schools to accept or reject them. The SCHOOLS have the FINAL say.
I guess Swofford was the one that signed off on the $50 million exit for all the schools in the conference (save FSU)?
I guess it was Swofford that forged school president signatures (every single ACC school, including FSU) on the documents authorizing the conference to use all legal options available to them to aggressively pursue every penny from Maryland?
I guess this restaurant idea was some great scheme of Swofford's to fend off the B1G and the schools really didn't want it, right? It couldn't possibly be because the ACC schools like the idea and want to brand the ACC conference? *gasp*
There is no way you are an Iowa fan. First, Iowa fans wouldn't be this concerned and obsessed over this ACC thing. Secondly, even if they were interested they wouldn't have such a biased view point.
I'm guessing you are either an Iowa State fan (scared of the B12 falling apart) or a WVU fan (and we know the type). Either way, take a look at what you are saying. It doesn't jive with the evidence at hand or the logic of it.
