The ACC needs a massive change. Needs a new voice. New direction from the top. This is pathetic in both major sports.

'Massive' may even be an understatement. But I do not see Philips as some kind of failure, because he walked into a disaster that had been in the offing since the ACC was created with the basketball people working with the majority of school Presidents to make certain the league would be Basketball-FIRST, while predending to back the Major College Football which was the reason for the secession from the SoCon. All Major decisions since then have part of that worse than stupid plan. So Phillips inherited a huge mess of many decades. making.
The issue now is: can the ACC be saved at all? If so, will it be saved only as the Pac now is saved: permanently marked as non-Major.
I think it clear that the SEC and BT ask their media partners are working together, by and large, to reduce the number of Major Conferences to 2, with those two coming to have total domination over all college sports money. I HATE the very thought of that evil and want UNC to be leading the ACC to survive as the 3rd Major.
For that to happen, the ACC must find a leader who is tough as nails and who knows how to seal with the kind of brutal trash running the SEC and the more hypocritical trash version running the BT. Phillips is too nice for that.
For this to happen, I think the ACC will enquire a multi billionaire sugar daddy who wants to back a challenger against the 2-league Monster trying to take total control of all money in college sports. I think all moves will be 'radical'. Wake will need to be cut. The far northeast (Bam Cuse) is total regional dead weight to Major CFB, sp must be cut. The ACC must become THE Major conference of MT by adding Arizona, ASU, Utah, Colorado, which will add value to having Cal-ford and be the geographic bridge back to TX. Add TTU, TCU, and Baylor to have 4 in the moist important football state of TX. Finish off with Cincy and WCUU to establish northern borders with or rivalries. Advertise all the time being the only league ever to have at least 1 school in each of the 5 states that every year produce the most football talent: CA, TX, FL, GA, OH. Play 10 conference games, with no games vs. 1AA teams allowed.
