Facing significant changes, college athletics is undergoing a transformation with a new governance model being developed by administrators and athletes from smaller schools. ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips emphasized a 'reset' in college sports on Thursday, expressing determination to protect the ACC's position. Phillips, speaking at the APSE Sport Media Conference in Charlotte, reassured that the reset will not end college sports. He defended the ACC's legal stance, particularly in relation to lawsuits involving FSU and Clemson, and highlighted the league's strengths, including its TV deal.
Chaos might be swirling around the ACC and college sports at-large, but Jim Phillips remains optimistic. “There's going to be a reset in college sports, and it’s OK. It doesn't mean it's going to be the end of college sports by any means.” https://t.co/klwjrxTmJp
