Interesting Article about the New ACC Commish and what needs to be addressed

Glad to see that VT is starting to ramp up donations to go to football because it sounds like thats going to be the expectation for all schools moving forward...

I thought this comparison from Dino Babers was accurate:

Syracuse football coach Dino Babers likened the situation to a track meet.

"You're about to run a 4x100 relay, and you're Leg 1," he said. "You're coming out of the blocks, your head is down, you're pumping your arms. You slowly raise up and see someone already on the curve, which means your A-S-S is really far behind. That's how I feel when we're chasing the SEC and Big Ten when it comes to money."

There's no time to wait, Babers said. Closing in on the fastest runner requires an all-out sprint, and every debate over a step forward by ACC members puts the league further behind.

Meanwhile, Babers said, the SEC and Big Ten have a goal of their own: "Never let [the ACC] run them down."

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
