I have been waiting to see another fan of a charter ACC school wonder if perhaps Jim Phillips is the wrong guy for this time because he might have deeply embedded pro-Big Ten instincts, who would then wonder if perhaps Phillips was chosen by some cabal to succeed Swofford and move the ACC toward some kind of arrangement with the BT.

And now I have seen that on another board.

My guess is that both the BT and Pac have many power brokers who will not want to cut back league games to 8. My guess is that both the BT and Pac will assert that any ND games played against their team must count as ACC games. And only a damned fool will give the BT the benefit of the doubt in any area that involves money and/or TV coverage. Likewise, only a damned fool is not already aware that the Pac has the most outsized, unrealistic sense of self in all of college sports.

So I am leaning hard to the doomed side. The history of the BT tells me that the odds are high that the BT is doing this only to make the BT richer and better able to attract more top football recruits to try to pull even with SEC football. You know precious little about the game today if you think the BT can do that in any way other than taking the key pieces of the ACC and planing the BT flag down the southeast coast.
