PINEHURST, N.C. — John Swofford cannot say if Clemson will host a home game in Death Valley on a Friday night, but the ACC will try to avoid it if they can.
“We try to give great respect to the sensitivities that are there on individual institutional bases,” Swofford said Friday as part of the ACC Football Kickoff.
That sensitivity is high school football, which obviously is very important in the state of South Carolina on Friday nights. The ACC would like to reserve the Thursday and Friday night games it has been asked to produce by ESPN to school’s like Syracuse and Boston College, who have markets that do not compete with high school football.
