"Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark took issue Tuesday with Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua's criticism this week of the ACC, calling his behavior "egregious." After Notre Dame was left out of the College Football Playoff field in favor of Miami, who had a head-to-head win over the Fighting Irish, Bevacqua accused the ACC of favoring the Hurricanes over his school on social media and in league programming."
"Yormark, speaking at the Sports Business Journal's Intercollegiate Athletics Forum on Tuesday, took aim at Bevacqua, saying he "is totally out of bounds in his approach, and if he was in the room, I'd tell him the same thing." All of Notre Dame's varsity sports other than football (which is an independent) and men's hockey are members of the ACC. Since 2014, Notre Dame football and the ACC have a scheduling partnership in which the Irish play at least five ACC opponents per season."
Brett Yormark criticized Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua for publicly attacking the ACC after Notre Dame was left out of the College Football Playoff in favor of Miami. Bevacqua alleged the ACC favored Miami and orchestrated a targeted social media campaign against Notre Dame. ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said the conference supports all 17 football-playing members. All Notre Dame varsity sports except football and men's hockey are ACC members, and Notre Dame has played at least five ACC opponents each season under a scheduling partnership that began in 2014. Yormark said the ACC helped Notre Dame in 2020 during COVID and disapproved of Bevacqua's response.
