[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 995492, member: 2957"] This is only my opinion from a strategy point of view. The third player in almost any stable industry is the most innovative. They have to be ... otherwise, they slowly lose market share because the larger players can offer the same value for less by spreading over a wider market. The SEC (since that is everyone's favorite whipping boy) has behind the scenes rules/guidelines/suggestions to deliver a consistent, conference-wide product of entertainment. The athletic departments are intertwined to the point that it's like different hotel brands all under the IHG or Marriott label. Spend rates, investment rates, etc ... are all organized conference wide. The ACC, to my knowledge, doesn't do this and neither do many others. They let each school do their own thing rather than work as a conference to secure a more competitive position. Everyone complains about the SEC but this is exactly what they have been doing for decades. Rinse and repeat. The ACC needs to find innovations that make for a better game day experience, a product consumers want, supported by technology that people use. Cashless concessions, expedited entry lines for season ticket holders, special VIP promos, etc are all part of the total fan experience. I was a big supporter for simply faster games because attention span for many has reduced significantly. Stadium sight lines have been re-engineered and many SEC (and other schools) have redeveloped their facilities to accommodate the demand. None of the ACC schools have (to my knowledge). I could go on and on. I don't think the ACC is as inept as many claim, but they do appear to be simply trying to follow the B1G or SEC instead of being the innovator. Which is what they should do. Again, just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
