ACC unveils updated plan for football and fall sports

After months of deliberation, the ACC announced on Wednesday that fall sports will take place this year, and they will begin between Sept. 7 and Sept. 12, provided public health guidance allows for sports.

The highlights of the ACC football plan include the adoption of an 11-game season, the addition of Notre Dame to the conference and the elimination of divisions in favor of one 15-team entity. The season will consist of 10 ACC games and one non-conference game that must be played in state, and the championship participants will be the top two teams in the ACC based on winning percentage.
