CHARLOTTE, N.C. – ACC Commissioner John Swofford delivered his annual state of the league address Thursday morning at the ACC Kickoff in front of hundreds of media members in town for the event, and as most would expect in such a setting, he gave a glowing snapshot of the league.
Swofford stated that the league is enjoying unprecedented success in nearly every area, including athletically, academically and on the business front. He also gave the facts that support such a deduction.
“From the announcement of our extended grant of rights and upcoming ESPN extension and ACC channel; to our league, our student-athletes, leading our peer conferences academically by almost any measure … to winning team national championships … to individual performances that garnered both national championships and numerous national accolades for our players and our coaches,” Swofford said.
