I think he threaded the needle perfectly. He made it clear ND is pissed at the ACC and the committee without sounding like sour grapes. He even belittled the committee for being "impressed" Alabama went for it on 4th and 2 against a weak opponent.
He used great diplomatic language when talking about stadiums selling out with Notre Dame in town, which obviously translated into "the ACC is a crap football conference." I thought it was a great smackdown of all things ACC football.
Be sure that behind closed doors he and the university are dealing with the ACC and the committee much more forcefully, especially that clown Hunter Yurachek. I don't think someone as experienced as Bevacqua is going to overplay a hand he knows Notre Dame may not have. I think he's got this from what I saw.
