In response to Notre Dame's complaints about how the ACC handled the march to the College Football Playoff, it appears commissioner Jim Phillips has opted for gaslighting.
Not long after Irish AD Pete Bevacqua appeared on the Dan Patrick show and made it clear he and Marcus Freeman were furious over the way the ACC campaigned for Miami and against Notre Dame, Phillips issued his response.
While the response was long and rambling, the key point came when he claimed that the conference never tried to disparage Notre Dame. A claim that isn't backed up by reality.
