ACC commish not a fan of college sports gambling

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — John Swofford admitted at the ACC Football Kickoff on Wednesday morning that he doesn’t know much about gambling.

With that said, the Commissioner of the ACC isn’t fond of gambling being associated with college athletics.

“I may be one of the most naive people in the world about gambling, quite honestly,” Swofford said at The Westin Charlotte. “I can’t even tell you the lingo that goes with it, quite frankly. But I know it can be incredibly problematic for the integrity of our games. I don’t like the optics of gambling in college sports.
