ACC commish optimistic despite 'disruptive' FSU, Clemson lawsuits

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday the pending litigation with Florida State and Clemson is"disruptive" and"harmful" but it has not changed the dynamic between them as the league wrapped up three days of meetings.

Phillips acknowledged what remains ongoing with Clemson and Florida State, saying,"It's difficult, it's disruptive, it's harmful but that's the world we live in. It hasn't changed one iota about how we've interacted with them and it shouldn't." Clemson and Florida State have specifically pointed to a mounting revenue gap with the Big Ten and SEC as reasons their future in the league is untenable. But Phillips said the ACC has worked to address those issues, including full distribution of the ACC Network and success initiatives that reward on-field success.

Phillips said Wednesday when the final breakdown was made over CFP appearances, the ACC was slotted in 17 to 18 percent.
