Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4989424, member: 3850"] The OBE was always partial to a faction...and the power of the ACC has been Tobacco Road... North Carolina has four teams in the conference, the ACC offices are in North Carolina, the majority of championship tournaments will be in North Carolina...Swofford was a UNC Old Boy with a building on campus named for him. Clemson and FSU have always been the uncool kids...football programs that live in the midst of the SEC. Duke and UNC are basketball powers and they see themselves as the original and still, flagbearers of the ACC. Yeah...the ACC has big problems...BC and Syracuse never fulfilled the promise of more viewers because they would bring in tons from Massachusetts and New York....And, with football paying the bills, Wake, Duke, Virginia, and UNC don't move the dial.. Much like the OBE...conflicting interests. [/QUOTE]
