My comment regarding affiliates being comfortable with mediocrity we’re not in reference to remaining within the conference.

The statement was specific to schools not taking the needed steps by way of investment in needed infrastructure changes in order to field more competitive teams, put fans in stadiums / maximizing the fan experience, and most importantly… increase TV viewership.

The schools I was referring to specifically are Duke, Wake Forest, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Virginia and to some extent, North Carolina and even Miami but they have their
Moments.

The biggest offender in my opinion of the bunch is Georgia Tech who can literally recruit nearly their entire roster within metro Atlanta and field an extremely competitive team within the conference. Yet they are what they are…

This is not an observation based on recent history. My rub with them dates back to long before Cuss and Pitt joined. A 10 minute search on Google regarding those programs historical revenue and expenditures by sport, recruiting budgets, coaches salaries, etc will validate my comment about their comfort with mediocrity.

A high tide raises all ships… and college football in America is a tsunami when you compare its revenue against all other sports combined.
