New Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips spoke with longtime ACC reporter David Teel on Monday.

See more below.

"We have a rich history and tradition in basketball — it’s like no other conference in the country. [But] football, and the success of football and the investment in football is going to have to be part of this strategy as we move forward." https://t.co/NxOtvp6FR0
