Finebaum thinks the B1G will likely hire Jim Phillips, thinks old school

thinking is what the B1G Presidents wants to get back to. Versus a TV guru, or entertainment guru or an NFL guy like Warren was. He thinks Jim Phillips who almost got the job last time, is exactly what they are looking for. HOO86 that sure would explain why there are crickets, or Phillips saying we need to turn the clock back and basically nothing else about the expansion that is going on, while the B12 and PAC never stop talking about it. The saying everything is on the table line, just another way of saying nothing. Heck John Skipper has said more about ACC expansion than anyone else. Maybe Philips takes his old school to the B!G and someone aggressive like John Skipper needs to take the ACC reigns. He certainly knows how to deal with ESPN and get an amazing deal for whomever he is representing. Okay it's a long shot, but a guy can hope can't he? :-) (Accidentally first posted on the football board) ** Edited by Stech at 3/15/2023, 12:56:08 PM

I hope he's gone. He's working for them now imo.

My bold prediction, ACC lives on by going really old school

How does adding the leftovers that P2 doesn't want make a power conf?

That's just media bias. There is plenty of value in having a (hypothetical)

Did you forget that the media pays the bills?

Don't agree, but I guess it's a definition of a power conference

ACC needs Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to run the conference and...
Old Line Hokie 03/15/23 04:05 PM ET
At this point, ACC should get an ESPN producer to run the league
Roanokie 03/16/23 08:59 AM ET
With our luck, we would get Zuckerberg who wants to put all ACC games...

Bezos would work in spades. Musk would tweet the ACC into oblivion. And

In Pennsylvania, there is a Moon High School and a Mars High School.

Compared to whom? He chose Phillips from a list of one. I'll bet the field.**
