John Swofford hit on a lot of topics ACC fans were wondering about at the ACC Kickoff. A couple of things of interest…

Here is a link to the entire transcript of Swofford’s introductory comments at the ACC Kickoff.

ACC Channel – It’s just matter of time

Looking ahead, there’s not much of an update I have to cover for you today, but I felt it was important to note that we will continue to have our discussions with our partners at ESPN about a potential ACC channel, and I remain pleased with how productive and insightful those discussions have been to this point.

ACC Digtial Network – We’ve been telling you this all along on the blog.

The ACC app and vault continue to flourish, while the ACC digital network has made monumental strides since launching less than three years ago to become an industry leader.

Maryland Lawsuit – Looks like the ACC is digging in on this one. Most conferences with teams leaving weren’t in positions of strength as the ACC is in. They were fighting to survive.

They were a quality member of this league for 60 years, and our league feels that it has a responsibility to the Atlantic Coast Conference member institutions to live by our constitution and bylaws as they leave the league.
