Carolina BOT Chair Calls for ACC Transparency
This about sums up what realignment is about -- small market vs. large market. And what it all means moving forward in a new age of college sports and paying athletes. I will be surprised if UNC does not file the next lawsuit to exit the ACC. BOT Chair John Preyer points out that Clemson has a problem with not being able to see the details of the media contracts. It's one of the same issues FSU has been trying to resolve. But ESPN and the ACC does not wish to divulge those details. Discovery is half the battle.
"I think that what Clemson is doing is 100 percent proof positive that a significant portion of the membership of the conference is unhappy,” UNC Board of Trustees chair John Preyer told Inside Carolina on Wednesday. “I don't see how it is in anyone's interest for the ACC leadership to try and browbeat its member schools from getting access to information and being transparent. And that's kind of the case Clemson is making.
"I think this shows that what is supposed to be a member-based organization is not being led in a way that represents the best interests of all the members, but instead, it's really representing the bottom tier of the membership at the expense of the top tier, which is why Clemson and Florida State are doing what they're doing. I think that's just obvious."

That's why college boards need to exert themselves more aggressively.
