It is possible ESPN gave the schools a great sales pitch


and implied certain promises (i.e. a much larger payout) in exchange for the schools extending the GoR. If those implied promises either don't come to fruition or at least in the same ballpark, then there could be a few schools with buyer's remorse.

While I don't think there are too many (if any) Swofford apologists on here, I can understand why someone may view "looking for alternative explanations" as possibly defending him or the decisions made by the ACC. Without knowing all the details of the various conversations, it is possible the ACC made the best possible decision at the time. Then again it is possible the ACC (knowingly or unknowingly) left better decisions on the table for a number of different reasons. It is even possible that the ACC's "best decision available" fell short of the "best decision."
