ACC Commissioner Vows To Keep Fighting Amidst Florida State And Clemson Legal Disputes

ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips spoke passionately on Monday about the ongoing legal disputes with Florida State and Clemson. Phillips, on opening day of the ACC Football Media Kickoff, promised to fight to protect the ACC and its members “for as long as it takes.” Phillips referred to the lawsuits as “damaging, disruptive and harmful” to the conference. He noted that every member of the conference willingly signed the Grant of Rights agreement twice. He referred to the ACC’s relationship with ESPN as stronger than it’s ever been, hinting that the relationship with Disney is not in jeopardy of coming to an end. Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs react to the commissioner’s comments. The guys discuss a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, saying FSU and Clemson will not make any formal declarations that they are leaving the ACC this summer. The deadline to announce their exit would be August 15th, in order to find a different conference by the 2025 football season. The guys discuss how well FSU head coach Mike Norvell handled questions about the conference disputes today.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONCOLLEGE for $20 off your first purchase.
