Jim Phillips, in between denying his role in Northwestern’s ongoing (and heinous) scandal, said something funny at ACC Football Media Days this week.
"Revenue generation continues to be a priority, but this league is third right now in revenue as we go forward into wherever the next TV deals are for other conferences where, we've looked at it," Phillips said. "We've had multiple TV consultants. Third is certainly a good position, but we want to gain and gain traction financially in order to close the gap with the SEC and the Big Ten."
Emphasis, obviously, is mine there.
