PASADENA, Calif. — Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford hopes the decision by his members to hand over their television rights to the league helps bring stability to all of college athletics after three years of conference realignment chaos. The ACC announced Monday its 15 current and future members agreed to a grant of rights, a legally binding deal that runs through 2027 and makes it nearly impossible for a school to switch conferences. "I hope it is good for the entire landscape," Swofford said Tuesday during a break in the BCS commissioners' meetings at a resort hotel in Pasadena.
