ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips says the league will fight Clemson and Florida State’s lawsuits every step of the way but also says he knows the sport is headed for a major reset.
Phillips spoke Thursday to the Associated Press Sports Editors Summer Conference in Charlotte, and he was asked about the lawsuits between the league and its two premier football schools, Clemson and Florida State. Both schools say the league is falling behind the Big 10, the SEC, and the Big 12 in revenue, and the schools in the conference won’t be able to keep up in the arms race.
