Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1748268, member: 27"] The contract Swofford signed was not a good one for the ACC. He could have gotten a lot more money had he gotten Fox involved. He didn't, in large part because the ACC coaches didn't want to lose the exposure ESPN offered the ACC programs. The B1G had the same decision to make and decided, apparently, to take the money and take their chances with the Fox channels. I hope Fox or Fox and TBS end up taking the whole B1G contract. I think ESPN has given the SEC and the B1G preferential treatment over the past few years, especially for football and Olympic sports, and I hope if the B1g leaves ESPN completely, a lot of the bandwidth ESPN reserved for them will go to the ACC.
