Wow, that makes the ACC very vulnerable. Who is looking out for the conference, and be able to exchange between the institutions so the conference dont get into drama (sorta like FSU and clemson). Swofford was very very good, in working behind the scenes with university leadership to be a good listener, nip things before it became crazy. I remember Swofford would have several individual meetings with FSU Trustees (one on one to not get into FOI needs). I dont know Phillips iis more interested in interviews or looking for his house back in Chicago. If he leaves would Ben Tario the deputy, would be the acting?? I read his background, alot of experience in big east office (and we know that leadership group)
