  Since Swofford retired, UNC basketball has been to the final 4 under their first year coach and now won the ACC baseball championship. On the other hand, LOL@STATE has continued to wet the bed with big 3 championships. Any questions? Case dismissed.

  There are rumors swirling that Swofford gave Green the illegal substance, claiming it was Vitamin C. Word on the street is that SACy is on the case. Once the lid is blown off this scandal, Swofford will have no choice but to resign.

  ACC football is a national joke. How has the ACC done in the BCS the past 10 years?
  
  ACC basketball has become a national joke. That was a long fall for a league that was once at the top of the college basketball world.

  obviously you have never left NC. I have been to over half the country because i used to get 3 grand in tax returns and would take road trips. Not a lot of people outside of nc care about unc and duke. You think pac 10 fans actually care about unc and duke? What about big ten fans aside from the challenge (my in laws all live in michigan so i can tell you they don't). You KNOW big east fans don't care about unc and duke or any acc team besides the ones that left the big east. Unc and duke basketball is junior varsity compared to the competition in the big east. LOL the usual unc ego "the world revolves around us" LOL i live in va beach and have YET to spot one unc fan off the top of my head. Spotted plenty of nc state and duke fans though ;)

  Id!ot post again Daffney! The entire planet pushes the UNC/Duke rivalry! If he has "pushed" it as you have said then I haven't seen or heard of him doing it but whatever.
  
  "I remember reading an article".............defined as, "I read something, twisted the words because I'm bitter about how bad the athletic program at State is and I am now sharing my version."
  
  You are a true example of a sad State fan who blames others instead of blaming the pathetic school you pull for who hasn't invested into their athletic department the way others have!
  
  You should check out the facts on all the other schools in the ACC who have won ACC or NCAA championships since Swofford took over. 52 national championships overall! Of course States not on either list!

  problem is he doesn't push anything else in the acc, just things that benefit unc. Does he ever push and promote the uva and vatech rivalry in ANY SPORT? What about miami and fsu? You hear barely anything. Especially with miami and fsu. You would think he would when trying to build up talk in football. Swofford doesn't care about football because unc is not a football school. I remember reading an article on wral about swoffords reactions during the unc state game in raleigh back in 2009. Every time state had a good play or a penaly was called on unc, he would look bothered or unhappy. Now if he is for all schools, why would he feel that way. As commish, every acc school is supposed to be your school. I had a unc fan call me up before the game saying that state would win in raleigh because the refs were going to give state make up calls. I laughed and told him "do you honestly think swofford would help state? You must be drinking".

  Swofford is not pushing anything. National sports pundits have argued that Duke - Carolina is not only the greatest rivalry in college basketball, but also perhaps the greatest sports rivalry PERIOD.... right there with Lakers - Celtics, Red Sox - Yankees, etc. SACy and the rest of the little brother syndrome sufferers need to let go of their jealousy. Why is this so hard to do?

  I could care less whether the ACC has a UNC grad running the show or not. UNC athletic excellence was built decades before Swofford and it will continue without him at the helm. If you're pinning your hopes for UNC's downfall on Swofford's departure then you're going to be sorely disappointed when as the old saying goes..."the more things change, the more things stay the same." GO HEELS!

  I don't think having a commissioner with ties to a conference school is a bad idea. Others have done the job successfully because they have stepped away from their bias and did the job unselfishly for the betterment of all. Swofford has never hid his feelings about UNC and it being his dream job and he has acted accordingly, attending the NCAA hearing with UNC and not Miami or Georgia Tech and little things like scheduling conference games and selection of Clougherty for head of officials not to mention the non handling of the Karl Hess mess. Even the expansion of the league which was good has created dissention with the realignment of teams and schedule problems that has created discussion even in the media. It is a good time for him to let someone else, less encoumbered with an affiliation lead the new league expansion. There would be less internal problems and more input/influence from other members! I know the first response is going to be as previously shown that everything said is from ABC'ers. Not true!!!! The conference should be first and that has not happened evenly.

  There is no promoting required with UNC-Duke, people nationwide know what a great rivalry it is. Should Swofford spend more energy promoting that mighty battle between 7 loss teams Clemson-State? I guess so, if it helps the ACC. I'm waiting for the national promotion of UNC-Duke football because it's also in the best interest of the ACC, right?

  ... just put all the original ACC members in one Division, call it the Southern, and all of the expansion teams in the other one, call it the Northern, wash your hands, take the money, and be happy again with it all, alright now (this just in, Syracuse & Pitt are not the end of expansion, more coming to an arena near you).

  Swofford doesn't need to push UNC-Duke. That rivalry has thrived by default because State, Wake, Maryland, Virginia, GT, and others in the ACC have fallen off the map in basketball. It's the only good thing about ACC basketball for the last 20 years so who can blame him for tooting that lone horn.
