Jim Phillips spoke at length Tuesday morning to open 2023 ACC football media days, offering the usual “state of the union” (spoiler: the state of the union is strong!) we’ve come to expect from the league’s commissioner.
While he talked for a long time, he didn’t actually say a whole lot—certainly nothing that could be considered breaking news. Among the topics were NIL (Unionbuster McGee here is adamant that athletes are not employees, unsurprisingly), the league’s rather tumultuous offseason, officiating, and of course, television revenue.
Phillips says he has a weekly meeting with ACC school officials on his calendar, and everyone is the best of friends now.
