The start of the college football season is still 15 days away in the Atlantic Coast Conference, but two of its member institutions are in danger of having to push back their opening game.
According to multiple reports, NC State’s season opener at Virginia Tech on Sept. 12 could be pushed back due to a recent outbreak of positive tests in Raleigh, in particular where the Wolfpack has reported 22 new positive cases for the COVID-19 virus in the athletic department.
“This is what we have been talking about in the last month or so about understanding: A, how important it is to get started… But, B, once you get started this type of thing can happen,” ACCN host Wes Durham said on the Packer & Durham Show Wednesday morning.
