One would imagine that an expanded playoff would be of interest for Phillips and the ACC. The ACC is a strong enough conference as is… but adding a team such as Notre Dame would be beneficial. With that being said, it doesn’t seem to be a top priority. Jim Phillips is clearly open to expansion in the ACC.

We hope you will join us and celebrate what God has done in our individual lives, community lives, in the fields of counselling and pastoral care. Please note the early bird deadline is 30 June 2022.
