ACC Commissioners Statement Sparks Controversy: Notre Dames Playoff Snub and the Impact on Their Relationship with the ACCThe ACCs exclusion of Notre Dame from the College Football Playoff has led to a heated debate, with ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips statement causing confusion. Despite praising Notre Dame as a valued member, Phillips words seemed to widen the gap between the league and its prominent football partner. The ACC publicly supported Miamis playoff bid, even airing their win over Notre Dame for forty-eight hours before Selection Sunday. Notre Dame, ranked tenth, was left out despite their head-to-head win against Miami. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua expressed frustration, claiming the ACCs public messaging caused permanent damage to their relationship, effectively ending any chance of Notre Dame joining the ACC for football in the future. Bevacqua emphasized that Notre Dame was mystified by the conferences actions, calling it an attack on their biggest business partner in football and a member in twenty-four other sports.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
