During last week’s ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte, new commissioner Jim Phillips expressed it is a goal of his and the conference to make football a top priority.
“As I’ve stated since my first day as ACC commissioner, football must be the number one priority for us, for all of us, our schools, the league, ACC Network, our partners, coaches,” he said “We’ve been collaborating for months to ensure that ACC football has the mindset of 24/7, 365, and we’re working together to further elevate football in the ACC. We’re just getting started.”
Of course, this goal is even more of a priority with the news Oklahoma and Texas are leaving the Big 12 and will apply for entry into the SEC.
