CHARLOTTE – At this week’s ACC Media Kickoff, Commissioner Jim Phillips introduced a new policy for the upcoming season regarding player availability during the Commissioner’s Forum.
Starting for the 2025 season, all teams in the ACC will be required to submit a “player availability report” for each conference game.
“This decision is directly connected to our ongoing commitment to best protect our student-athletes and our multi-faceted approach to addressing the effects of sports wagering,” Phillips said.
For in-conference football games, schools will be required to submit an availability report two days prior to each contest, with updates provided one day before and two hours before kickoff.
