[QUOTE="Techster, post: 883536, member: 360"] As bad as you make that article and the ACC sound, reading the article makes the ACC and what Jim Phillips says worse. Not only is the ACC's media revenue predicament of our own making, but we pretty much cut off our own legs last year by voting against playoff expansion. Now when the B1G and SEC teams have doubled and possibly tripled their revenue, it will make it harder for anyone outside of the Super 2 conference to make the playoffs. This is why I keep bringing up the nuclear option of dissolving the ACC. Teams like UNC/FSU/Clemson/Miami that have a national "brand" do NOT want to fall behind teams they consider their peers ('Bama/UGA/Ohio State/Texas/LSU/Oklahoma/etc). The only way out of the ACC's GOR anchor and "keep up with the Joneses" for them is to find a way out...and the only clear cut way is to dissolve unless the ACC the capability of pulling off a miracle...and does anyone have confidence in that from the ACC? GT and UVA will probably also have suiters...so is it financially responsible for them to wait around until the GOR ends? I'm sure Jim Phillips is a good person and wants the best for the ACC, but when he starts talking about the greater good and "owing it to the kids"...it sounds like the last desperate words of someone who knows the days of their company is numbered.
