“ACC has never been stronger” while whistling past the graveyard. Wake up commish. This is why two of your school are suing you to leave.

What if it works?

I hear you.
Admittedly he's got a bit of a point though, including with both competition & record-breaking revenue again last season.
A thriving, popular ACC would raise all boats, & we only made $4m less per team than the SEC last year.
What if this year is a banner year for the league? It looks perhaps inescapably likely, sincerely. I'd love to see it, especially with Clemson at the top again & a home game for the playoff.

Philips is slanting the truth. Grant of rights wasn't part of the two signature events. He knows it. But he has no choice but to toe the company line.

#$&* this guy. Don’t mince words. He continues to slander our title as our attorneys have argued. He never misses a chance to run his trap to the press to our detriment. He never discusses his unilateral (and illegal) extension of time to ESPN at the 11th hour. This guy is no friend of ours and should be treated as such.

Agreed. He keeps giving us and FSU a tongue lashing in the media while Neff says today we want to be good members while we are a part of this conference. Makes me throw up a little in my mouth. Time to stop trying to play nice. Why didn't that weakling Phillips lash out at Sankey and the Big 10 commish in the most recent playoff money negotiations? Instead he bent over like wet cardboard and accepted less money.

The Alliance did it

I still can't stop thinking about how the only thing the Alliance did was delay the new playoff by a year which kept FSU out on accident rather than including them by the first-ever rule of its kind in the sport & if we'd have had any of these lawsuits to begin with.
The ACC may yet have a banner year this season, & that could be brilliant timing with the looming TV renegotiations, which may perhaps make these lawsuits moot. I love how the league helps us schedule in a way that's still unique in all of sports, & I don't want to lose that outright. I love the ACC, sincerely, & a healthy ACC would fix everything.

“Use your football money to try harder in football and you will get more money for the other 27 sports” on Day 1 and every Jan 1 thereafter. As a commissioner, his job is to align the members around the money he can extract from the market. Then, if they want to be great at basketweaving after that, great.
Look at Stanford. Arguably the best athletics program in the country and they were on the outside looking in when it came time to pick new teams (passed 2x by B1G).

In fairness, he's fighting for his very survival...

because he knows when Clemson and FSU leave (and nothing can stop that now), others will follow which likely spells the end of the ACC as P4 conference. For the ACC, this is entirely about self-preservation.

idk if anyone else will leave

I can't point to another school that takes football as seriously as we do (maybe NCST), and they all seem to really fit into the quasi-ivy league vibe they've created with the addition of stanford and ND in every other sport. Everyone besides FSU and Clemson seems to be content winning at Olympic sports, lacrosse, soccer and such while only having a football team for revenue purposes.

From the ACC's trying to screw over their premiere football programs.
