[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 883496, member: 3893"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.yahoo.com/sports/acc-jim-phillips-shifting-college-football-landscape-162324438.html[/URL] Phillips kicked off the ACC's football media festivities with a stump speech and question-and-answer session that could have been delivered two generations ago. He assailed the relentless pursuit of profits. He cautioned that every school and league needed to consider the greater good, not simply their own bottom line. He spoke up for non-revenue sports, smaller conferences and even the bowl industry. He said hokey things like, “We owe it to those kids” when talking about the importance of athletics at places such as Northern Illinois, where he was once the athletic director. "Any new structure of the NCAA must serve the many, not a collective few,” Phillips said. “We are not the professional ranks. This isn't the NFL- or NBA-Lite. This shouldn't be a winner-take-all or zero-sum structure. College sports have never been elitist or singularly commercial." [/QUOTE]
