PrintTwitter thoughts and highlights from the ACC Football Kickoff's live question and answer session with commissioner John Swofford:
RT @theACCfootball: "Winning is important but if you have to cheat to win you really haven't won at all" #ACCfbk
RT @theACCfootball: Swofford on key components to success: "Win, play by the rules and graduate our players" #ACCfbk
RT @RollWes: Academics are what people talk about when their teams can't win on the field. If you're in Quiz Bowl, academics are important. #accfbk
RT @tomblockfsu: Let the ACC PR hype begin: NFL Pro Bowlers last 2 years--ACC: 47, SEC: 30, Big 10: 25, Big 12: 22, Pac 10: 28 #ACCfbk
RT @cnpatterson3: Swofford: "We need to win more high-profile games against non-conference opponents." ACC fans, check out the lineup for Sept. 17. #ACCfbk
RT @willsworldmn: Sorry Swofford, as much as you would like to stress academics,it doesn't help win football games. And that's what people care about. #accfbk
RT @ESPN_ACC: JS: "Depth in our league is probably the best it's ever been. " #ACCfbk
RT @theACCfootball: "Sometimes we forget that out athletes are there for an education and to leave with a degree" #ACCfbk
RT @wxmoose: hope that's a typo "@ESPN_ACC: JS on NCAA violations: "That's now who we are as a league." #ACCfbk"

Swofford sounds a bit hypocritical with what his alma mater is going through down in Chapel Hill.

And the fact that he has been the one suggesting punishment through the years
On every university, regardless if he is the commissioner or not. From his “secret AD meetings” as an AD at UNC going after NC State and Clemson, to his current run down at FSU and recruiting violations at Wake. Yet now that his baby program is under attack he has no comment on the situation. Disgraceful.
Yep, I’m a little passionate on this, sorry for the rant

What is Clemson's excuse, then?
“Academics are what people talk about when their teams can’t win on the field. "
(or NCSU too, but who care about them….)
