College Football will lean on the NFL

John Swofford believes testing for COVID-19 is going to be critical for college athletics to return this coming fall.

The Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner met with The Clemson Insider Thursday, and other ACC media members, during a virtual conference call to discuss the options and the many scenarios his conference has gone over in the last two weeks, as it wrapped up its annual spring meetings.

This year’s spring meetings, which are normally held in Amelia Island, Fla., were held virtually.

“One of the things I think college athletics can learn from is whatever happens with the professional leagues this summer, whether it’s the NBA or Major League Baseball or the NFL,” Swofford said when asked what the testing protocol for the ACC could look like.
