John Swofford owns the failure of the ACC but nobody likes to hear it outside of Tallahassee

 

As most of you probably recall, John Swofford's son, Chad, worked at Raycom as Director of Business Development. The forced inclusion of Raycom cost the ACC @ $82M a year in lost tv revenue. Swofford family hookup cost the ACC a lot of money and helped lead to where we are today.
