He might not have a choice. Even if he disavowed the super pac system, the party will just set one up to campaign for him anyway. The candidate doesn't have any control over that. Even now, anyone who is rich and had the inclination could do it, and he would have no way to stop them.

His campaign could disavow the Super PAC's. I really don't think that would be a good use of resources, but he has the option to just say that their message is one that shouldn't be trusted. This would be a pretty tough decision on his part. Accept the Super PAC's , and come off as false. Don't accept them and he may be fighting to remain on message.
