CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On Thursday, Commissioner John Swofford announced the Atlantic Coast Conference has partnered with ESPN to launch The ACC Network. The collaboration created a lot of excitement, especially with Clemson president Jim Clements.
“I think this is a historic day because this is a long term agreement, a long term partnership that gives us an even greater exposure nationally,” he said. “You’ve got a great collection of academic institutions that are great athletically, so I think it is great for the university and is great for the student athletes. I am excited.
“As leaders among higher education, the ACC strives to represent all that is good among college athletics.
