Hurricane Florence could impact games in Carolinas, Virginia

With Hurricane Florence bearing down on the Carolinas' coastline, schools and conferences are monitoring the strengthening storm's progress and exploring contingencies for college football games this week.

The National Hurricane Center issued an advisory Monday that the storm is expected to approach the North Carolina or South Carolina coast Thursday as an "extremely dangerous major hurricane."

That would be the same day Wake Forest hosts Boston College in an ACC matchup, and two days before six power-conference schools host nonconference games in the Carolinas and Virginia.

For now, the teams are moving forward with game-week plans until told otherwise.
