The ACC football season will not start on time. Forget all about that NC State-Louisville game on Sept. 2; per Pete Thamel, the league isn’t going to start this season before Sept. 12.
This news comes amid a report from Thamel that the ACC is leaning toward a 10-game conference season with one non-conference game. This would likely mean five home-and-homes, and for a significant portion of the league, a non-conference game against an SEC opponent.
Sources: The ACC is discussing scheduling models, with 10 league games and a "plus one" outside the conference as the favorite.
