The Big Ten and Pac-12 both postponed their 2020 football seasons on Tuesday and announced they would instead try to play in spring 2021. However, the ACC moved in the opposite direction, publicly confirming that it still intends to play football this fall.
“The ACC will continue to make decisions based on medical advice, inclusive of our Medical Advisory Group, local and state health guidelines, and do so in a way that appropriately coincides with our universities’ academic missions,” said a statement from the ACC released Tuesday evening.
“The safety of our students, staff and overall campus communities will always be our top priority, and we are pleased with the protocols being administered on our 15 campuses.
