This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

"The trump card for Phillips is the ACC’s grant of rights" by G.K.Chesterton
Discussed here before, but that contract is an albatross negotiated by the previous ACC commissioner and all the ACC schools are chained to it. They are stuck with it until 2036 and I don't believe there is any opt-out capability. Remember when Scottie Pippen locked in for a long-term contract and it was a bad deal for him (and others told him it was bad)? Same thing here.
Side note: For the moment, Phillips still lives on the North Shore - if you drive by a certain house with an ACC flag out front, you'll know it's his place.
