After busy summer, ACC ready for football season
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -So much for a lazy summer at Atlantic Coast Conference headquarters.
Realignment rumors. An NCAA investigation into agent involvement with players at one of its marquee institutions.
No wonder the ACC is ready for the offseason to end and the games to begin.
Wake Forest running back Josh Adams said Sunday during the league's preseason media day that “I guess this is our year to experience those problems.”
Most of the attention lately has centered on the NCAA investigation at North Carolina into whether two players received improper benefits from agents. That's become the hot-button topic du jour in college sports, and quarterback T.J. Yates says “we've already taken our adversity for the season.”
