He emphasized the importance of maintaining optimism and navigating through these difficulties while safeguarding the interests of the ACC. Additionally, Phillips highlighted the ACC’s expansion into new markets with the inclusion of Stanford, Cal, and SMU, aiming for comprehensive distribution to maximize revenue. Discussing the ACC’s share of future College Football Playoff revenue, Phillips acknowledged the challenges but emphasized the pursuit of both financial and competitive success.
