Football wealth and power are not built upon and preserved by wins, even a string of National Championships. It all is based on fans, fans who buy tickets and, more importantly, fans who watch games on TV. Another obvious fact that almost all the fool who have held major power over the ACC since its founding refuse to discern is that state flagship and/or land grant schools have major advantages in drawing and building upon those devoted football fans. On the other hand smaller private schools have all the disadvantages, which can never be overcome, with 1 exception: Notre Dame.
All that being the case, along with the idiocy of ACC exaonsjon to adde even more dead weight like BC, ACC administrators very badly needed to realize that that if they could not embrace showmanship, that their TV numbers would fall ever farther behind SEC and BT, resulting in a winding revenue gap, which at some pint would eklqve the ACC either dead or permanently demoted.
But basketball obsessed fools almost never wake up. They might as well live in an opium den.
This excerpt shows what UNC, Miami, nd other AXCC schools should have been doing for a long time, not so much with this pacific but just then eye catching novelty and, most importantly, then type coach:
"There's a lot of technique to hot dog eating," Kiffin explained.
It had the look and feel of a circus, perfectly fitting with Kiffin, college football's greatest showman, at the helm. Long an offensive X's and O's innovator and now the sport's Portal King, Kiffin was using his unique brain to twist a long-staid format desperately needing an update.
Coaches like Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin could have done a lot of good in drawing eyeballs to ACC games on TV.
