CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- ACC commissioner Jim Phillips spotted Louisville football coach Scott Satterfield in the main hallway outside the interview rooms at ACC Kickoff on Wednesday and quickly came over to say hello as a full day of media appearances wrapped up.
The two exchanged pleasantries before Satterfield acknowledged the reality facing both the commissioner and the conference: Phillips has a tough job ahead.
Of course, that has been the reality since Phillips took over as commissioner in February 2021, and he's made some strides in addressing key areas, including bringing the ACC Network to full distribution last December.
