He, and ND is po'ed about two things:
1. changing the "rules" in the middle of the game and misleading the team by manipulating the rankings after the fact. He has called it a "hoax" and a "farce." That is really strong....I'm not sure what else you expect him to say.
2. The ACC actively lobbying against ND who is a member of the ACC in 24 sports and a very valuable "partner" in football. He didn't have a problem with Miami lobbying, just the ACC taking sides against a member of the conference. He said that the relationship is "damaged."
The fact that ND pulled themselves out of the bowl game is also a very strong statement. I'm willing to be that ND will eventually do more.
I'm not sure why anyone would expect more than that. All the nastiness of the committee will come out and I suspect the ACC will do something via an apology in time. Delaney has limited ability to do much since he works for the ACC, where many members want ND in the conference for football, and his ties to ND leave him with little wiggle room.
