Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 1088551, member: 626"] To follow up the convo w/ my Raycom acquaintance- his biggest "issue" was w/ what he called Swofford's "deliberate" style, that he took too long to make decisions. From everything he said, Swofford is seen by the Raycom folks at least, as being too reactive and not proactive enough. He knows he's in a position of strength w/ Raycom and is taking his time, though I'm not sure this applies to ESPN as well. Likely, he'll be "deliberate" on getting the ACC Network off the ground which might be a good thing as you suggest. However, I'd be concerned if that money gap between the B1G, SEC, and PAC gets too wide and some schools start flashing their eyes at these other conferences. IMO, Swofford didn't really move to act on the money-gap, until forced to do so by the threat of defections. Its one thing to be "deliberate", quite another to be a day late & a dollar short. [/QUOTE]
