They hate the B1G office. First off, additionally to the NCAA penalties the B1G has decided to not to give them any bowl money, they also publicly censored Penn State for what happened. The Penn St alums hate that the conference is controlled by Michigan and Ohio State. I am not saying it will be easy to convince them, but Swofford needs to see what it will take to get Penn State call ESPN up and say listen if you want a conference that is worth something you committed money to you have to give us X to keep this conference afloat because you can bet Delany is going to take the B1G to the free market in 2016 and will look strongly at FOX to drive ESPN up more and have cause a reduced inventory with a split FOX/ESPN bid because FOX/News Corp own 49% of the BTN and when the B1G becomes available to think that FOX/News Corp won't use the fact they helped the B1G start up the BTN with a huge financial stake in the negotiations to get the B1G product on their networks as Fuel TV is being rebranded as FOX Sports 1 is probable to occur. Swofford HAS TO go ESPN and explain that the B1G will do this and that they need to go "all-in" and follow the Bush Doctrine and go for a pre-emptive strike before the ACC is killed off. If Swofford is as savvy as we think this HAS to be what he is doing or the ACC is in trouble.
