AMELIA ISLAND, FL. — After two years of a proverbial dark cloud hanging over ACC spring meetings in sunny Florida, the 2025 session felt lighter.
“I was ecstatic about our meetings,” Commissioner Jim Phillips said Wednesday with a smile. “I just thought it was just a great three days. We were a focused group, and we had a chance to talk about the important areas that are going on in college athletics. And we've shed ourselves from some of the things that were difficult to deal with.”
“Things that were difficult to deal with,” meaning the league’s yearslong lawsuits with member schools Clemson and Florida State.
