The Latest: Mendenhall embracing task of rebuilding Virginia

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Latest on ACC media days (all times local):

10:05 a.m.

Bronco Mendenhall surprised many when he left BYU after 11 seasons to take over a Virginia program with 15 wins in four seasons.

But to listen to Mendenhall at the start of Friday’s interviews at the ACC media days, he was ready for a rebuild after what he described as ”an intentional choice.”

Virginia went 2-10 in Mendenhall’s first season with one ACC win. By comparison, Mendenhall never won fewer than six games and had five seasons with at least 10 wins at BYU.
