ACC won’t hold any athletic competitions before September 1 (per report)

Just this morning, we were wondering how the Ivy League cancelling fall sports would impact other conferences around the country. We don’t know the full scope yet, but the ACC does seem to be taking some steps toward larger changes to its own fall sports schedule.

As first reported by SI.com’s Pat Forde, the ACC will not hold any athletic competitions prior to September 1 of this year. The ACC has since confirmed, and notes that schools themselves will handle any required rescheduling.

That doesn’t affect football, since the conference’s first game this coming season is on September 2 (NC State at Louisville).
