ACC claims expansion victory
Submitted by jpg on 07/02/2008 - 11:06Expansion generated more revenue, specifically from television, for the ACC and to that end conference commissioner John Swofford claims victory for adding Miami, Boston College and Virginia Tech.
Andrew Carter of the Orlando Sentinel reviews the financial particulars of the pre- and post-expansion ACC. Swofford's still bravely flying the "Mission Accomplished" flag.
"I think the way you have to measure expansion is positioning for the long term," Swofford said. "What we've done is put ourselves in a position to be stronger than we've ever been before and play at the very top level at a consistent basis."
