sbfishySC Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 John Swofford should have been fired years ago yet for some reason he is still here as a biased UNC/basketball commish making absolutely stupid decisions (I.e. recent acc additions). Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 18, 2013 Super User Posted September 18, 2013 As an N.C. State fan I have followed the unc stuff carefully and the clear path the ncaa has taken with regards to unc is pathetic. They are as corrupt and as guilty as anything SMU did and unc gets a wrist slap. The corruption goes from the head of the ACC(unc alum) to the board of governors , to the complete and total lack of ethics from the unc administration. This whole thing sickens me. Whitwolf, there was a time when the NCAA had a hands-off policy for UNC, Kensucky and Kansass for basketball. The NCAA also avoided Bamasux when the Bear was there. Looks like UNC may walk away from all of this with a minor penalty or no penalty. Just you let the Wolfpack try the same stuff and see what happens. Quote

GT was forced to abandon our 2009 ACC Championship for no other reason than not following a ridiculous request of the NCAA investigator (who was a former UNC football player, by the way). Yeah, I'm still bitter. On one hand, I agree with sbfishySC's comment about Swofford. There's been the long-perceived "Tobacco Road bias", and my alma mater is a long way off Tobacco Road. Then again he didn't sit idly by during all the conference reorganization stuff. The additions made, the decision to increase the buyout to $50M and the work done to make sports broadcasting rights the property of the conference (as opposed to each individual program) looks to have ensured the ACC's existence for at least the next few decades.

Super User whitwolf Posted October 1, 2013 Super User Posted October 1, 2013 While this new news will more than likely involve agents only It's possible that the splash back to unc can and will be highly entertaining. http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/sports&id=9269488 Quote
