Report: ACC Attempting to Move Forward with 2020 Season

The Atlantic Coast Conference plans to push forward despite rumors and reports that other conferences are considering cancelling their 2020 football season, according to a report by Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated.

Forde reported the ACC athletic directors met on Monday and are “moving forward in an attempt to play.”

Sources: ACC ADs met today and are "moving forward in an attempt to play," in the words of one staffer. League presidents could be meeting today as well.

Forde reported the ACC athletic directors met on Monday and are “moving forward in an attempt to play.”

Most national reporting has surrounded the Big Ten conference as potentially being the most likely to cancel, with the Pac-12 potentially going along with them.

Pitt’s preparations for the 2020 season were paused on Monday, but it was a scheduled day off for the Panthers after completing three days of workouts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Pitt is currently scheduled to resume workouts with practice in pad shells only.
