Lawyer speak statement from Phillips. ◄
goldendomer • 12/08/25 04:32 PM ET
You realize that the ACC had nothing to do with the committee decision?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 07:42 PM ET
I doubt you or ND.......
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:24 PM ET
Wait a minute. just who and what are they? Seems to
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 07:45 PM ET
Do not.......
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:52 PM ET
I didn't tell you what I think, I asked you what
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:17 PM ET
Looks to me........
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 08:29 PM ET
It is entertaining, I must admit. You, however, still
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:36 PM ET
The reason I did not answer it......
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 08:54 PM ET
Thank you. **

If ND doesn't like the current deal, then take all your teams ...
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 06:56 PM ET
Pal, you’re wearing out your welcome here**
Tailgate Guru • 12/08/25 06:40 PM ET
Please pin point what the ACC said. This looks like an escape clause excuse
Stech • 12/08/25 05:17 PM ET
why are they mad at ACC, Alabama got in with 3 losses 1 to FSU
1947Sunbowl • 12/08/25 05:54 PM ET
Still think they're just posturing to get more control of the schedule
daveinop • 12/08/25 06:35 PM ET
I think they want to leave the Conference without exit fees, we will see.**
Stech • 12/08/25 05:56 PM ET
There could be more motivation than the CFP Committee Snub
HOO86 • 12/08/25 09:21 PM ET
That follows the behavior they are showing, they’re looking for an excuse,
Stech • 12/08/25 09:42 PM ET
They are now in here with the best academic group other than the Ivy League
HOO86 • 12/08/25 11:09 PM ET
Possible but probably not. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:16 PM ET
What do you think their end game is for doing this? Get Phillips fired?**
Stech • 12/08/25 06:30 PM ET
more control of the contract schedule
daveinop • 12/08/25 06:42 PM ET
Agree.....
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:30 PM ET
That’s entirely possible, this is a negotiating ploy of some type.**
Stech • 12/08/25 07:09 PM ET
I will post it in a minute. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:38 PM ET
That would be ironic
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:31 PM ET
Hard 2 imagine a P4 commish that would ever do more 2 help ND than Phillips
Stech • 12/08/25 06:34 PM ET
There is zero chance ND would join the Big 12
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:37 PM ET
I don't think they want SEC either.
HOO86 • 12/08/25 11:36 PM ET
And go where?
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:59 PM ET
Unless the networks and B1G and ND
Vippie1 • 12/08/25 06:16 PM ET
Yes it's likely a rouse to get out of the ACC with no exit fees, they will
Stech • 12/08/25 06:29 PM ET
5 years ago no. But they got the Prezs fine with breaking up the Pac
Vippie1 • 12/08/25 06:40 PM ET
IMHO Big East for other sports and fully independent for football, they
Stech • 12/08/25 06:03 PM ET
Agree. Appease the subway alumni, good hoops conference, private-Catholic
HwoodHokie • 12/08/25 07:56 PM ET
So they'll give up ~$12M per year to go from ACC to Big East? **
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:05 PM ET
What hit did SMU take to leave the AAC? remember, ND has
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 07:48 PM ET
I believe the exit fee was $17M to leave the American
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:04 PM ET
For other sports yes, they are watching SMU take no media $$, it's chump
Stech • 12/08/25 06:12 PM ET
Taking a $12M annual haircut to join a worse conference would be a decision**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:13 PM ET
It's about the cost of a haircut to them, just like it is to SMU. plus they
Stech • 12/08/25 06:25 PM ET
Post one thing where the ACC said ND was not worthy of the CFP
RTFC • 12/08/25 05:06 PM ET
Join a conference or beat Miami**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 04:36 PM ET
That is only this year, and Miami did
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 04:40 PM ET
HtH matters as a tie breaker. SMU and BYU were not tied last year. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:07 PM ET
Yes they were. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 07:36 PM ET
We now need to claim 93 as our own championship**
goldendomer • 12/08/25 04:43 PM ET
It seems you have adopted.....
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:20 PM ET
Why Not. UCF is Claiming 2017.
HOO86 • 12/08/25 04:56 PM ET
FWIW a major poll, which was used in the BCS formula, recognized UCF has
VTHokie2000 • 12/08/25 05:04 PM ET
Different set of circumstances
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 04:43 PM ET
Really? BYU was 11-1 this regular season with their only loss to
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:38 PM ET
I was referring to last season, since you brought up the SMU/BYU H2H**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:41 PM ET
Yes, and your assertion that they were 11-1 in the regular season, with
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:45 PM ET
H2H should control with everything else being relatively equal
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:49 PM ET
Huh, seems to me you are not consistent. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:51 PM ET
Seems to me you are not arguing in good faith**
