118: Michigan Will Move on From Manuel, And the ACC Revamps Its Tiebreaker

Fortunately we did not record to early and were able to get the news out of Michigan before we began recording. The down side of course, is we were not able to fully digest whatever findings the internal investigation uncovered or the big picture of losing an AD that has a tenure of 10 years and a championship track record on the field. We do our best to connect the dots of how we got to an initially defiant administrator that eventually was forced to step down and what was the worst of what we heard about the culture in the department.

We take a quick look back at the ACC media days, first by giving a so-so seal of approval to the job Commissioner Jim Phillips has done in his tenure, while he has a number of those praising his work, there are others that are harsher critics. One thing you have to say, he still has the job. The ACC also revamped their football title game tiebreaker to avoid the mess like the one they found themselves in last year. If you were hoping for sheer simplicity, you forgot the conference has an odd number of teams, playing uneven schedules, with some teams playing only 8 conference games.
