Sankey talks to McAfee

ACC is fast losing any inkling that they are a major conference. They have no marketing and no vocal support. If I was the ACC commissioner I would have been on every major talk show talking down on the SEC with facts and calling out biases.

For the universities, they need to be putting boots to asses on the commissioner and the conference as a whole. At the very least a very vocal vote of NO confidence. They have been bent over 2x in the last two years, about to see it happen a 3rd time too if SMU loses tonight.

Yeah, he should have hit the PR much harder. I don't think it would have done anything really, but at least try. I just don't think you can move the needle of public opinion when it's well-known you don't have the full backing of your conference members since 2 of the biggest brands are suing to bust out and 5 others are waiting to jump ship if they have the chance. How do you say "the ACC is on par with the SEC and B1G" when the host is just going to say "Really? Your biggest brands disagree and that's why they want out of the ACC"?

This is not to say Phillips is a good commissioner, he's not, but to think he's going to go on these shows and be able to change minds? I don't think so.

If things shake out tomorrow as expected - all at-large bids going to B1G and SEC schools (and a 1 loss ND), even with fewer wins and more losses than an ACC or Big XII team, I'd have more respect for Phillips if he started an "advisory group" with the Big XII like the SEC and B1G did with each other. And they started discussing the options available moving forward because I think you're going to see this bs on a yearly basis going forward.

College football is screwed. Sankey and Petitti are doing the jobs for their conferences, but what is good for the SEC and B1G is not necessarily what is good for college football though. There needs to be an adult in the room looking out for the sport as a whole and there is no one there, nor does there seem to be anyone on the horizon.

I really wish the ACC, Big XII, and the G5 would just tell the SEC and B1G to ***** off at this point. Have some self-respect and call the bluff of the SEC/B1G. Start their own division of college football. Only allow rivalry games with the upper league, but no other comingling. Their own playoff, their own bowl games, their own TV. ***** it.

This is ALL DRIVEN by ESPN!!!
Everyone needs to wake the *** up

ESPN is fake news
They have their agenda from pre season and they have the microphone to shape whatever ***ing narrative they want

They were talking about 3 loss SEC teams getting in more than a month ago

They are driving the bus 100%
This is their money and they will get the teams they want in
 
Meanwhile, Phillips thinks Travis Jordan played for us last year and we were kept out of the playoffs because he got injured. Dude is a joke
