Actually he didn't.  From the [URL='https://www.streakingthelawn.com/2018/6/11/17448296/virginia-football-mendenhall-acc-caliber-worst-power-five-nfl-cavaliers-recruiting-board-visitors']SB Nation article[/URL] (in the UVa version of "Nunes the Magician") written by Paul Wiley, who actually heard the recording of the meeting:

"Instead of repeatedly highlighting the discrepancy between 81 and 27, as Blum did, a responsible journalist might have provided some context on how many of those 81 players on the roster actually play in ACC games.

During the 2017 season, 59 players appeared in two or more ACC games—a decent indication of how much “ACC-caliber” talent a team needs. Those 59 players included 11 seniors, as well as four players who have either retired for medical reasons or left the team and the University.

Which means there are 44 players on the current roster who appeared in two or more ACC games. Even if there isn’t perfect overlap between 2017 appearances and Mendenhall’s talent assessment, that still means he thinks about half of the current players with meaningful ACC experience are up to ACC standards.

Is that really so shocking for a program that’s gone 4-12 in conference the past two seasons?"

As a creature of the State, all meetings of the UVa Board of Visitors have to have a transcript available to the public under Va's Public Records Act, so telling the Board is telling the public.
