The Atlantic Coast Conference, the conference of my youth, is facing tough times.

The wet-behind-the-ears commissioner Jim Phillips allowed himself to be played by Big Ten commissioner Warren by joining that wack-ass “alliance” with the Pac-12, all because his ego would not go along with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey’s plan to expand the playoff. With the Big Ten stabbing the Pac-12 in the back after nabbing USC and UCLA and scoring a HUGE deal with Fox, CBS, and NBC, Phillips’ conference is treading on shaky ground.

Hopefully this would not affect the football fortunes of the ACC this season. As I said while previewing the SEC, this will be brief because I’m not getting paid to go all in depth and shit.

So without further ado…
