GREENSBORO, NC (WAVY) – It’s official. The Atlantic Coast Conference plans on playing football this season. The conference announced each team will play an 11-game schedule (10 league games and one non-conference game) starting Sept. 7.
The plan also includes Notre Dame, which will play within a conference for the first time in the program’s 132-year history.
The ACC’s unveiling could mean good news for Old Dominion, which has two ACC games (Wake Forest and Virginia) on its schedule. The plan stipulates any non-conference game must be played within the home team’s state.
On one hand, this means UVa’s primetime matchup against Georgia, which was scheduled to be played in Atlanta on Sept.
