Greg Swaim tweet about ACC, ND, CU, and FSU


Jun 28, 2012, 2:00 PM

Greg Swaim ?@GSwaim

Not crucial to #Big12 they get #ND, but is crucial to B12 that #ACC doesn't get them or #FSU, #Clemson, everyone stays.

Sounds like they are worried about ACC getting ND. Maybe ACC is more of a player than many like to believe.

Well, the story itself seems to change every day too! You have to admit it can be pretty fluid. At least the rumors are!

Neither conference is a real player. ND is using both ACC and Big12 as contingency plan if their NBC deal doesn't work out. The threat of conferences is being used as leverage by ND to get a fatter payday from NBC.

They might want to,


Jun 28, 2012, 2:53 PM

ND doesn't have as much leverage with NBC as they used to due to falling ratings. At this point, NBC could just let them go to a conference(pick one), then just come on board like CBS has done with the SEC. This way NBC would be broadcasting the biggest conference game of the week and not just be stuck with ND.

Jun 28, 2012, 2:33 PM

I get the part about the Big 12 isn't so much concerned about getting ND as long as the ACC doesn't get them, but what does "or FSU, #Clemson, everyone stays" mean?

Does that mean it's crucial to the Big 12 that #FSU and #Clemson and #everyone stays? Or

Does it mean that it's crucial to the Big 12 that FSU and Clemson and everybody stays ONLY IF ND joins the Big 12 (or ACC)?

Does that mean that it's crucial to them that the ACC doesn't get ND AND that everybody else stays? Or

Does it mean that if ND joins the Big 12 (or ACC) that FSU and Clemson will (or will not) stay?

Big XII doesn't need ND to join them, but if ND joins the ACC, then no one will leave the ACC, so then the Big XII can't pick up any ACC team looking to leave since ND would be joining the ACC

lmao - good catch.

Some quick math - assuming his info is correct. He joined in 09/2000 - so it works out to ~ 9 posts EVERY DAY for 12 years. Assuming he sleeps sometimes, it's ~ 0.6 post EVERY HOUR he's awake for 12 years.

Hmmmmm?

Notre Dame is simply stalling until we pass july 15th, they belive that keeps ACC teams from moving and Big12 from inviting ACC teams. That date passes, and ND has an equal seat in the current 4 team playoff as the ACC etc... without joining a league.

NBC TV Ratings For ND Football....

were really low last season... I believe a record low. NBC might very well NOT renew the contract, after all, its about ratings... then ND will have to go somewhere....
