"EVERYTHING is on the table"? Including the C word?

1. Unequal revenue distribution 2. Giving ND a special scheduling deal/TV deal that they can't refuse to join. 3. Relegation and promotion (in conjunction with the Little 3) 4. CONTRACTION 5. Mega merger with the Pac-10 6. A vote to disband the conference 7. Going to 10 conference games What am I missing? WADR, I find it hard to believe that a guy who thought it was more important to annually schedule VT-Wake and Miami-Louisville rather than VT-Miami has the football chops to lead the ACC though this. And I think this writer knows. I have a lack of confidence that the suits in the Little 3 and their TV exec overlords will do anything creative and bold enough to change the trajectory we are now on. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 7/20/2022, 4:39:55 PM

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.
MP4VT2004 • 07/20/22 08:33 PM ET
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...
Gobbler Guru • 07/20/22 04:07 PM ET
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

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
133193Hokie • 07/20/22 04:22 PM ET
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
goldendomer • 07/20/22 03:33 PM ET
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
Vippie1 • 07/20/22 03:21 PM ET
Vipp[ie
VT Rockie • 07/21/22 09:14 PM ET
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
