AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Commissioner John Swofford took some time to brag on his conference once ACC spring meetings wrapped up, and really, who could blame him?

Not only is the ACC coming off perhaps its most successful season collectively as a league, Swofford also noted a sense of normalcy throughout the meetings that, in his words, hasn’t been there for a decade or so.

What’s more, Swofford, league and school administrators and ESPN representatives spent time hammering out details for the forthcoming launch of the linear ACC Network, still on track to debut in 2019. Among those discussion points: best practices for building out and staffing up television studios at each university, and possible Week 1 matchups to help maximize interest in the network right from the start.
