Not to be repetitive but I'm not sure

what he could have said without potentially tipping his hand. Whatever moves the ACC may make, he doesn't want it to be the SEC. And I think that is the vibe he is getting from the PAC also. So maybe he can find a way to keep the ACC viable, with a different more aspirational model for college athletics. Will the ACC ever have equal revenues? Likely no. But could they survive at a high level and still be able to look itself in the mirror? Well if he can pull it off, count me in.

In a word....ouch! The truth hurts, but it's still the truth. The ACC is

Too bad we no longer have Bob Lipper to complain in the RTD.
HOO86 • 07/20/22 08:56 PM ET
This is really just the "what do we want VT to be" argument, and answer ...
WestyHokie • 07/20/22 04:33 PM ET
Right on.

All I've ever wanted is for VT
Vippie1 • 07/20/22 05:05 PM ET
Not me. I wanted the Eastern League
obguthr • 07/20/22 05:24 PM ET
Add WVU and Cincinnati, and you're in it for the most part.
HOO86 • 07/20/22 08:08 PM ET
When did the Commissioners of the SEC or Big10 talk about being cutthroat?
wwhokie1 • 07/20/22 04:32 PM ET
In retrospect...

Northwestern U. enrollment is almost 22,000.**
33laszlo99 • 07/20/22 05:05 PM ET
Most of that is grad students.
Gobbler Guru • 07/20/22 09:25 PM ET
The ACC Presidents hired him for a reason - he serves at their pleasure so

"EVERYTHING is on the table"? Including the C word?
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/22 03:46 PM ET
Miami didn't want VT as permanent rival**
133743Hokie • 07/20/22 06:25 PM ET
But they pounded the table on...Louisville?**
BAMRising • 07/20/22 07:34 PM ET
Have no idea. Just know it was widely reported that their AD didn't want VT**
133743Hokie • 07/20/22 07:44 PM ET
If true. Whit and Phillips didn't seem to fight them on it.
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/22 06:34 PM ET
Expand with two B12 teams plus partnership with Pac12 **
wwhokie1 • 07/20/22 04:23 PM ET
Here is another…..**
Femoyer Hokie • 07/20/22 03:24 PM ET
Sounds like he was about to announce an ACC-Ivy merger just them.
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/22 04:12 PM ET
I'd rather add Simon Fraser, Guelph, Toronto & McGill.
Old Line Hokie • 07/20/22 06:24 PM ET
But, but, but - it is about academics and the welfare of the student

Do you remember ESPN and the networks scolding football lovers over CTE?
Maroon Baboon • 07/20/22 04:32 PM ET
It was pretty bad... I appreciate his sentiment, but he needs to awaken

Not to be repetitive but I'm not sure ◄
Vippie1 • 07/20/22 03:32 PM ET
Actually, he should have said much less than he did
daveinop • 07/21/22 08:12 AM ET
Phillips is getting hammered for his press conference
goldendomer • 07/20/22 03:19 PM ET
He should be, the ACC 🤷‍♂️**
Stech • 07/20/22 03:24 PM ET
He also said
daveinop • 07/20/22 02:58 PM ET
Agreed, the writer throwing a hissey fit

For me it was the appearance. He looked lost
goldendomer • 07/20/22 03:48 PM ET
Interesting, do you have a link to that?**
Stech • 07/20/22 03:16 PM ET
EGW's notes on 247; 31:30 on the linked video
daveinop • 07/20/22 04:38 PM ET
Great article and very frank.**
goldendomer • 07/20/22 02:41 PM ET
So what is his advice for JP
Vippie1 • 07/20/22 02:58 PM ET
JP is in a bad spot. But the AcC needs a big time leader
goldendomer • 07/20/22 03:21 PM ET
He is going to something with the network and PAC
