CHARLOTTE — Jim Phillips had his first chance to take a stand as the ACC’s new commissioner on Wednesday, during the conference’s media kickoff.
Phillips was tasked with answering questions regarding how the ACC plans to move forward with Covid in 2021 and beyond. While he didn’t punt his answer, he didn’t give the same resounding answer that SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey did earlier this week.
Instead, Phillips indicated that the conference wants to wait before deciding on how Covid cases could impact future games. They’d like a little more information before making a memorandum, one way or another.
