ACC Football History

Great info and history. 

As I have always said, what is holding back the ACC, is the ACC.

Next step for ACC football.  Athletic departments committing to football, starting with budgets and facilities.  To many feel they have, but if they visited SEC/B1G schools and looks at their budgets, they would understand, they haven't.

That is correct. The ACC champion until just several years ago was forced to play in the in a lesser bowl and NOT on New Years Day. Then Tom Mickle devised a strategy to get ACC football promoted to the Big Boys table, and ACC football has been on the rise ever since. You have to remember that the ACC de-emphasized football after Maryland won the national championship in 1953 and has been working at catching up for a long time. That would Duke's 800 SAT rule put into effect in 1962 - it took the ACC 20 years to recover. From 33-62, Duke, Clemson, MD, and UNC played in 15 Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange Bowls. "
