GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford said Sunday after he addressed reporters during the opening session of the ACC Football Kickoff that he would be ?shocked?? if University of Miami football coach Al Golden were personally involved in any NCAA violations.
Swofford was asked by The Miami Herald about his reaction when he read the newest Yahoo! Sports report allegations about Miami.
?Well, I don?t know how new they are,?? he answered. ?That?s an ongoing investigation.??
Swofford was then asked specifically about Yahoo! reporting that coach Al Golden had direct knowledge of UM football improprieties after he arrived at UM. What was Swofford?s reaction to that part of the report?
?You never want to read any more of that,?? Swofford said. ?I?ve seen all of that I want to see. You?re never happy when you read that, but again, I don?t know if that?s necessarily a new part of that investigation. It may simply be something that has been thrown out there that isn?t new. I don?t know. I really can?t comment on an ongoing investigation on a piecemeal basis.??
Then Swofford was asked, ?How about just your own gut and how you feel having gotten to know Al Golden??
Swofford?s response: ?If Al Golden were involved in anything inappropriate in terms of NCAA rules I would be shocked.??
