He is in dire need of better demographics for the ACC Network. The best option – by far – is UConn, which will go a long way to bring in the NYC market much like Rutgers does for the BTN. However, if Swoffie invites two teams that would pretty much close the door on adding Notre Dame as a full member. Swoffie wants to add UConn as the ACC’s 15th full member and then keep the 16th spot open for ND. So the ACC would need to maintain unequal numbers in its two divisions for several years until the Irish “come around” and join including football. (ND will never join the ACC as a full member but Swoffie doesn’t understand that.) That’s what he’s trying to do here. Swoffie wants to change the NCAA bylaws so that the ACC can have two unequal divisions. They can then continue their ACC championship game, enhance their TV market for their conference network and keep a spot open for ND as a full member.
