Notre Dame AD Unleashes Shocking Claims of Coordinated ACC Assault Amid CFP Controversy

So, here we are again — Notre Dame left off the College Football Playoff, and let’s just say, it’s stirring up a hornet’s nest. Pete Bevacqua, Notre Dame’s athletic director, isn’t holding back, pointing fingers straight at the ACC for what he calls a three-week social media blitz aimed at knocking the Fighting Irish down while pushing Miami into the spotlight. Can a conference really wage a digital campaign against a partner without stirring some serious damage? Bevacqua sure thinks so, and the ripples from this controversy are far from settling. What does this simmering feud mean for college football’s landscape? Grab your popcorn — it’s getting interesting. LEARN MORE.

With the controversy of the Notre Dame football program being snubbed from the College Football Playoff, athletic director  Pete Bevacqua has been outspoken on his issue with the decision by the committee. As the Notre Dame football athletic director is even targeting the ACC for advocating for the Miami Hurricanes to be in the CFP over the Fighting Irish, he has continued to speak on the fractured relationship.

According to Nicole Auerbach of NBC Sports, Bevacqua said that the ACC has been on a three-and-a-half-week, at the most, social media campaign to attack the Fighting Irish and to put Miami in the CFP. Would go on to talk about the “damage” between Notre Dame and the ACC.

“Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua says it was a 3-3.5 week social media campaign from the ACC attacking Notre Dame,” Auerbach wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “He said he talked to ACC commissioner Jim Phillips and said it’s ‘raised eyebrows and you’ve got to know it caused damage.’”

Notre Dame football’s Pete Bevacqua continues on the “damage” done

While ACC commissioner Jim Phillips released a statement of his own negating the Notre Dame football athletic director’s comments, Bevacqua stood ten toes down on his feelings. Bevacqua would go on to say that he felt that the ACC was “attacking” the program.

“It has created damage. I’m not going to shy away from that…People a lot more important than me at the university feel the same way,” Bevacqua said, via Pete Thamel of ESPN.

“I don’t understand why you’d go on a social media campaign to attack an important partner,” Bevacqua continued. “What we were really surprised by and disappointed by was how the ACC conference really went on a social media campaign (that) in my opinion (was) attacking our football program.”

At any rate, there’s no denying there’s a sense of shock and disbelief from the Notre Dame football program over missing the CFP.
