Speaking with reporters Wednesday to wrap up the ACC’s spring meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., Phillips said NCAA president Charlie Baker told the conference that the case will be “dealt with.” In the meantime, though, Phillips said tampering must have consequences and he will be watching the situation closely.

“I mean, everybody’s talking about it across college football and certainly, in our own conference,” Phillips said. “It has to be addressed. Charlie Baker has promised us with his staff … that case, in particular, is going to be dealt with.

“Part of this thing, though, is there has to be repercussions for improper behavior. Until that occurs, I think the tampering piece maybe stays at the level that it’s at right now. We’ll be interested to hear when that case is brought forward and the judgment of the NCAA in that matter.”
