On a day where the Big Ten Conference announced it would play league only games and the Pac-12 reportedly set to do the same, another conference is about to make that decision. According to Stadium's Brett McMurphy, the Atlantic Coast Conference will move to a conference-only schedule for the 2020 college football season.
“ACC football also expected to play conference-only games, sources told @Stadium,” McMurphy tweeted. “Last month, ACC commish John Swofford told @Stadium if Power 5 schools played conference-only schedules that ACC would assist Notre Dame with as many games as it needed.”
However, sources tell Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic that any news regarding the scheduling change is 'premature' at this point.
Last month, ACC Commissioner John Swofford joined The Paul Finebaum Show to discuss the latest steps in college football and the challenges ahead.
“I think we’ve made the decisions that we can make and should make up to this point in time,” Swofford said. “We haven’t altered the preseason practice period at this point in time, there’s no reason to at this point in time. So I think that the decisions that can be made have been made. But it’s odd being in a situation beyond that where coaches and athletic directors and commissioners that are in leadership roles are used to making decisions and moving on and you’re action-oriented. In a sense, with some of this, we’re in a holding pattern where we’re not at a point to make definitive decisions yet. We’re proceeding as if we will start the football season on time and we will play a full season. But we also know that either of those could be altered, either significantly or not so significantly. So we’re having to develop a lot of different scenarios and spend a lot of time and energy on different scenarios that may or may not come into play.”
Swofford was asked by Finebaum about when college football is a full-on green light “go.”
“Well I think that when we reach mid-July, hopefully that’s a more definitive point,” Swofford said. “I think that’s a benchmark certainly when you reach a point where you’re starting practice and that first weekend of games is in sight and potentially a reality at that point. Then it all starts becoming more and more real. I do think that we’re all moving ahead on the basis that we will start and that we will start on time. If that changes we will adjust and I think we’ll be ready to adjust to whatever we may have to adjust to. It may be a Fall that is very different than any other Fall, there may be some teams playing more games than others based on testing and potential outbreaks and different locales and every conference has different state regulations that will have to be dealt with.”
