Message: [QUOTE="Yawkey Way, post: 1570537, member: 4458"] No.. that analogy does not really work, imo.... as nobody said that by putting the BE football league out of business that the ACC thus became " an industry leader", as a result of the BE football league collapsing. Nobody here claims the ACC is the " industry leader ". My comments were in reply to the comment made above by a poster that the ACC is on the verge " of collapse", and another poster that said that the Commissioner of the ACC has been " incompetent " as a Commissioner. These 2 comments would be analogous to stating that Apple is on the verge of collapse in the PC business because Lenovo has been expanding its market share of the PC business the last few years. Just because a couple of people might overstate something in a momentary bout of hyperbole, does not make it so. Swofford has done a terrific job as the Commissioner of the ACC during his tenure, imo. The league is far more stable than when he was chosen as its Commish, and its School members seem far more happy than the Big or the B12. He has the continued support of the ACC schools, and he's been reelected unanimously by them as a result. It is the currently unstable B12 that is rift with internal strife, engaged in open infighting, and far more likely to have defections than the ACC. [/QUOTE]
