Whit Babcock Interview

Link is TSL, but it's a good read. I found the uniform comments pretty interesting:

Here's how the uniform process works, and people can pick who to blame out of all of this: In October uniforms are ordered, so in October of 2015 the uniforms styles were ordered for 2016. So they were ordered before Coach Fuente was the coach. Now when you decide on those styles, Nike makes some recommendations, coaches will make recommendations, and ADs can certainly insert themselves in the process.

The Nike Graphic Identity Group comes back in, and they clean up your wordmarks, they get the colors back right, they changed our font to be more consistent ...Nike can give you some off the wall stuff too, and they can present that, but it's always up to the school to pick what we'll accept.

So this also took place back in October [2015], and what will now be unveiled later this year and into the fall is more consistent colors, more consistent fonts, our own Chicago maroon, Hokie maroon type thing, all the same numerical fonts, all the same script

Also interesting comments on the status (or lack there of) of anACC network:

In the ACC there's a small committee of ADs and a few others that will speak for [the possibility of an ACC network], and we all want to have one voice. But do I feel like the ACC has missed its window? No, no and if and when there's an announcement I think that will be explained. I would love for it to happen, and I think it would be great. I believe we're getting closer, but that small group will speak for that, and hopefully we will have some clarity on that because it would be a game changer.
