Commissioner Jim Phillips understands the college sports landscape will experience seismic shifts with the likes of UCLA, Oklahoma, Texas and Southern California changing conferences in the near future.
Phillips said he still believes the Atlantic Coast Conference is the place to be, but implored his peers to act with the greater good in mind instead of tending to their own "gated communities."
"I will continue to do what's in the best interest of the ACC," Phillips said at the conference's media day kickoff on Wednesday. "But will also strongly advocate for college athletics to be a healthy neighborhood, not two or three gated communities.
