Jerry Ratcliffe: Swofford Enhanced the ACC through turbulent Realignment -- HOO86 12/16/2016 11:28AM If Swofford's original picks of Cuse, BC, and Miami had worked in 2003. -- lawhokie 12/18/2016 3:46PM League might have folded with such a scenario. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 4:58PM I like how he and Ratcliffe make it sound as if VT's inclusion was planned. -- Will Stewart 
12/17/2016 11:56PM Swofford has been an adequate commissioner, but nothing I'd consider great -- Calamitous 12/18/2016 11:29AM Ratcliffe is hedging on his initial remarks back when the ACC -- RJHokie 12/18/2016 09:24AM Swofford plays the cards he is dealt well -- WarHog38 12/17/2016 01:07AM Original expansion should have included Pitt, VT and Miami -- lawhokie 12/18/2016 3:20PM Disagree. Basic geography is why the ACC beat out Big12. -- chuckd4vt 12/17/2016 2:16PM You miss on one major point...... -- 2hhoop3 12/20/2016 09:24AM Different stories I have heard about the ACC expansion -- arcadtect 12/17/2016 9:21PM Why oh why was Miami dictating terms? Weak sauce. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 12:44AM It was a different world then, Miami didn't have to leave the BEFC... -- BROman Hokie 12/18/2016 1:21PM Again. Very weak. EVERYONE knew the BE was unsustainable. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 1:36PM The ship wasn't sinking yet... -- BROman Hokie 12/18/2016 1:55PM Miami had no other options, except independent. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 3:16PM I agree. Swofford overestimated Miami's leverage. -- lawhokie 12/18/2016 3:33PM I think they reached into the NE too fast. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 4:55PM Eight game conference schudules -- WarHog38 12/17/2016 7:36PM We have the same set up as you. VT's "rival" is Boston College. IKR? -- chuckd4vt 12/17/2016 7:50PM If only all of the Presidents, Trustees and ADs would listen to you -- marcbvtgm 12/18/2016 10:59AM Perhaps they should listen to the Fans. That's who's paying the bills. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 1:37PM Championship Game -- WarHog38 12/17/2016 8:21PM Dulaney was pretty clear about why it was rejected. -- chuckd4vt 12/17/2016 8:31PM Not really. Couldn't recall proper spelling. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 12:39AM Your friend as well ** -- daveinop 12/18/2016 09:16AM I do enough formal/academic writing. Not worried bout it here. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 3:21PM I guess it didn't take ** -- daveinop 12/18/2016 4:35PM Move along please. Typical jerk response from you. -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 5:13PM Your excess of hot air is a bad combo with your thin skin ; that said, I'll -- daveinop 12/19/2016 12:15PM One last dig? Good riddance. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/20/2016 4:23PM Ticket prices -- WarHog38 12/17/2016 8:59PM Really shocked you disagree with something that doesn't fit your narrative ** -- marcbvtgm 12/17/2016 5:16PM You're right. Swofford's done an awesome job. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/17/2016 5:25PM He played the hand he was dealt fairly well. -- marcbvtgm 12/18/2016 10:47AM Went from premier league in 03 to losing members in 13. ** -- chuckd4vt 12/18/2016 1:38PM I am not sure Rutgers would have been a better choice than BC -- VTHokie2000 12/17/2016 4:24PM I wouldn't want the ACC to add Rutgers even today. -- HOO86 12/18/2016 5:28PM If the ACC were to add UConn then it might send the wrong message -- VTHokie2000 12/18/2016 10:55PM Connecticut cares about UConn, not New England -- HOO86 12/19/2016 11:48AM The difference being that the New England states are much more pro markets -- VTHokie2000 12/19/2016 1:50PM The ACC has a basketball brand it is determined to keep. -- HOO86 12/19/2016 6:48PM I am not sure I would count on Notre Dame becoming a full member -- VTHokie2000 12/19/2016 9:39PM We'll have to see. -- HOO86 12/20/2016 4:04PM If the ACC were to go with Plan B, then would a combination of -- VTHokie2000 12/21/2016 10:52AM The ACC needs to keep having the top tier win. -- HOO86 12/22/2016 12:36PM The Pac-12 doesn't seem to have any problems w/ turnover at the top -- VTHokie2000 12/22/2016 3:23PM Hard to compare any conference commish to the B12 -- EDGEMAN 12/17/2016 08:49AM When Mike Slive and Gene Corrigan talk you need to listen...and again -- Stech 12/16/2016 6:38PM I see he is 68. Has he expressed any retirement plans? ** -- Guy LeDouche 12/16/2016 1:05PM Joe Ovies tried to ask him in October. -- HOO86 12/16/2016 1:46PM Perhaps we should appreciate Swofford more than we do -- VT ChemE 1986 12/16/2016 12:50PM God knows he "evaluated" an ACCN. Evaluated about a decade too long. -- chuckd4vt 12/16/2016 2:28PMTech Sideline is Presented By:
