From the very beginning of the process until the proposal was modified, Swofford not being clear about HOW the ACC would use the original proposed rule change doomed it to failure:

[I]The ACC has 14 football teams and a conference championship game, so it's unclear what agenda the conference may have to develop the new legislation.

“I think there's some belief that (the) ACC would play three divisions, have (the) two highest-ranked (teams) play in postseason,” Bob Bowlsby, Big 12 commissioner and chairman of the new NCAA Football Oversight Committee, told CBS. “Really, nobody cares how you determine your champion. It should be a conference-level decision.

[B]“But because the ACC has persisted in saying, ‘We're not sure what we'll do,' there's probably a little bit of a shadow over it. In the end, I don't think it'll be able to hold it up.[/B] We'll probably have it in place for '16.”[/I]

There are others toward the end where Delany talks about why the original wording of the rule change would not pass and had to be modified.  But I have presented those in the past on various message boards.
