3ACC Commissioner John SwoffordACC Commissioner John Swofford

Now in his 14th year as Commissioner, John Swof-ford has made a dramatic impact on the Atlantic Coast Conference and college athletics. Swofford has built his career on the appropriate balance of academics, athletic achievement and integrity and is regarded as one of the top administrators in the NCAA. Swofford assumed his role as the fourth full-time commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference in July of 1997. He follows James H. (Jim) Weaver, the leagues fi rst Commissioner from 1954-1970, Robert (Bob) James, who served from 1971-1987 and Eugene F. (Gene) Corrigan, who held the position from 1987 to 1997. In addition to overseeing one of the nations larg-est athletic conferences, Swofford has been pivotal in positioning the Atlantic Coast Conference for the future. In July of 2010, Swoffords leadership and nego-tiating skills helped the conference secure a new 12 year multi-media rights agreement with ESPN. The extensive television package begins with the 2011-12 academic year and will more than double television revenue to the 12 member institutions. In addition to reaching new heights fi nancially, ACC content will now be televised more, both regionally and nationally, than at any point in league history, while also best positioning the conference within the continuous, ever-changing world of technology. Equally as historic, in 2003, on behalf of the nine league institutions and the ACC Council of Presidents, Swofford introduced Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College as the newest members of the ACC. With the expansion, Swofford helped bring the conference extended and enhanced television contracts in both football and basketball. Highlights included the rights to the inaugural ACC Football Championship Game and signifi cant increases in the number of televised games as well as negotiating an agreement with XM Satellite Radio, to broadcast the leagues football, mens and womens basketball games nationally. In the sport of basketball, Swofford was instru-mental in creating the ACC/Big Ten Challenge that began in mens basketball in 1999. Then in 2007, the two conferences hosted the inaugural ACC/Big Ten Womens Basketball Challenge. Highly respected by his peers, Swofford was a force in the development and growth of the Bowl Champion-ship Series and is the only person to serve two terms as its Coordinator.

Since becoming Commissioner, Swofford has been responsible for securing increased bowl oppor-tunities for the ACC. The past fi ve seasons, at least eight ACC teams have earned bowl bids and, in 2008, the conference set an NCAA record when 10 of its 12 teams (83%) participated in bowl play. This year, the ACC has agreements in place with nine bowls including the Orange Bowl, home to the ACC Champion since 2006. During Swoffords fi rst 13 years as Commissioner, ACC teams have won 50 national team titles and 1,337 ACC teams have participated in various NCAA championships - an average of over 100 NCAA teams per year. A long-time advocate of the importance of academics and student-athlete welfare, Swofford stimulated the formation of the leagues fi rst-ever ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. This group of current ACC student-athletes gives the conference direct feedback on their experiences participating at the highest level of college athletics. In 2006, the prestigious ACC Mens Basketball Tournament was awarded out to 2015. Throughout Swoffords tenure, the iconic event will have traveled to many dynamic cities within the footprint of the league including Atlanta, Ga., Washington D.C. and Tampa, Fla., in addition to the traditional stops in Greensboro and Charlotte. The 2001 ACC Tournament in Atlanta set NCAA attendance records for single session (40,083), per session average (36,505) and total attendance (182,525). Swofford placed an added emphasis on the de-velopment of womens basketball in the ACC with the hiring of an Associate Commissioner for Womens Basketball to oversee all aspects of the sport on both a conference and national level. The Director of Athletics at the University of North Carolina from 1980 to 1997, Swofford was instrumen-tal in building North Carolinas athletics department into one of the countrys most respected programs. He became the schools athletic director on May 1, 1980 and at the age of 31, he was the youngest major college Athletics Director in the nation at the time. During his tenure, Tar Heel athletic teams claimed 123 ACC championships and 24 national collegiate titles, including two in mens basketball and one in womens basketball. During the 1993-94 year, the Tar Heels captured the inaugural Sears Directors Cup, emblematic of the collegiate all-sports champion and fi nished in the Top Six of the Sears Cup standings in each year of Swoffords tenure that the award was given. Under his leadership, North Carolina enjoyed tremendous growth in its athletic facilities, including the construction of the Smith Center, a complex which includes a 21,572-seat basketball arena, the Koury Natatorium and the Frank H. Kenan Football Center. He initiated the idea and provided the impetus for the founding of North Carolinas trademark licensing program. The University chose to recognize his many ac-complishments by establishing the John D. Swofford womens athletics scholarship and naming an audito-rium in the schools football complex in his honor. John and his wife Nora reside in Greensboro, N.C. and together they have three children, Amie, Chad and Autumn, who is married to Sherman Wooden. Autumn and Sherman welcomed Maya, their fi rst child, to the family in April of 2010

4The Tradition of Excellence Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in todays intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so com-petitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defi ed the odds. Now in its 58th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the leagues inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 120 national champion-ships, including 64 in womens competition and 56 in mens. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 130 times in mens competition and 91 times in womens action. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC is unrivaled in NCAA an-nals. With Dukes victory over Butler in last years NCAA title game, ACC teams have won fi ve of the last 10 NCAA National Championships and 12 overall, including eight over the last 20 years. No conference has compiled a better NCAA Tournament record than the ACC since the inau-gural tournament in 1939. ACC teams have posted an NCAA Tournament-best mark of 347-175 for a sterling .665 winning percentage against the nations toughest competition. The ACC is the only conference to have each of its teams make at least one NCAA Tournament ap-pearance over the past fi ve years. In the 26 years of the current 64/65-team fi eld, the ACC has produced 24 Final Four teams, an aver-age of almost one per year and six more than any other conference. Since the NCAA Tournament was expanded to 64 teams in 1985, ACC teams have compiled a 249-126 (.665) NCAA record, including 66 Sweet 16 appearances and 24 Final Four berths - all NCAA Tournament bests. Since 1985, 67 of the 133 ACC teams receiving NCAA berths have won at least two NCAA Tournament games. North Carolinas Tar Heels lead all ACC schools with fi ve NCAA basketball championships to their credit. Duke is next with four national titles, followed by NC State with two and Maryland one. The Tar Heels claimed NCAA titles in 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009, while the Blue Devils won their fourth title in 2010, following earlier championships in 2001, 1992 and 1991. The Wolfpack walked away with the coveted crown in 1974 and 1983 while the Terps claimed the 2002 national title. The ACC has 10 or more NCAA Tournament wins 13 times overall, and the league has not posted a losing record in NCAA Tournament play since 1987. The conferences 23-year non-losing streak in NCAA Tournament play is tops among all conferences. Since 1981, the ACC has produced 38 con-sensus All-Americans - 15 more than any other conference and has accounted for 25 percent of the

nations consensus All-Americans (38-of-155). Seven of the last 14 and nine of the last 18 con-sensus National Players of the Year have been from the ACC. Since 1975, the ACC has had 16 consensus National Players of the Year - 12 more than any other conference. In addition, nine of the ACCs 16 National Players of the Year were unanimous selections. A year ago the ACC had 52 players on NBA rosters. In addition, over the past fi ve years 45 ACC players have made their NBA debuts, including an all-time high 15 in 2006. In this past Junes 2010 NBA draft, the ACC had fi ve fi rst round selections and nine players drafted overall. The ACC has had fi ve-or-more fi rst round selections in three of the past four years and has had at least one fi rst-round pick in 22 consecutive NBA drafts. Since 1986, the ACC has had 93 fi rst round selections - 13 more than any other conference. Last year, for the second time in four years, 10 ACC teams fi nished the season with 20 or more wins. The ACC is the only conference in Division I history to have 10 teams win 20 or more games in a single season. For the fi fth-straight year, the ACC surpassed the 2.2 million mark in attendance as the 12 schools totaled 2,217,642 over 201 regular season games and six ACC Tournament sessions. The Championships The conference conducts championship competition in 25 sports - 12 for men and 13 for women.

The fi rst ACC championship was held in swim-ming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the fi rst year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Championships for women are currently con-ducted in cross country, volleyball, fi eld hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing.

Year in Review ACC schools captured an all-time high eight national titles during the 2009-10 academic year. Overall, the ACC has totaled 50 national team titles over the last 13 years. The Conference has won two or more NCAA titles in 28 of the past 30 years.

The Atlantic Coast Conference

This is a photo of the offi cial announcement of the formation of the Atlantic Coast Conference, taken at Greens-boros Sedgefi eld Inn, May 8, 1953. A three-man liaison committee, shown above, informed Southern Conference President Max Farrington of the decision. Left to right were Dr. James T.Penny, faculty chairman of athletics at South Carolina (chairman); Edmund (Eddie) M. Cameron, athletic director at Duke (committee member); President Farrington; and Dr. H.A. Fisher, faculty athletic chairman at NC State (committee member).

5ACC History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefi eld Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conferences annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became offi cially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the regions newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Dukes Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses.

On December 4, 1953, conference offi cials met again at Sedgefi eld and offi cially admitted the University of Virginia as the leagues eighth member. The fi rst, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964.

The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University.

The Schools Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Bostons Irish immigrants and was the fi rst institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Origi-nally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its fi rst fi fty years. A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus. Clemson University is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Georgia border, and the tiger paws painted on the roads make the return to I-85 easier. The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Calhoun, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Tom Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land-grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Till-man. Duke University was founded in 1924 by tobacco magnate James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. Originally the school

was called Trinity College, a Methodist institution, started in 1859. In 1892, Trinity moved to west Durham where the east campus with its Georgian architecture now stands. Nearby are Sarah P. Duke gardens, and further west the Gothic spires of Duke chapel overlook the west campus. Florida State University is one of 11 universi-ties of the State University System of Florida. It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and fi rst offered instruction at the post-secondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state. In 1905, the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in the state and designated the Tallahassee school as the Florida Female College. In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a co-educational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University. Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands Geor-gia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885. Its fi rst students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one offered at the time. Techs strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the offi cial mascot. The old Ford was fi rst used in 1961, but a Ramblin Wreck had been around for over three decades. The Ramblin Wreck fi ght song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Krush-chev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959. The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Wash-ington, D.C., on land belonging to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the states found-ing father. The school colors are the same as the state fl ag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and fi nally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the cam-pus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school. The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community. Since the fi rst class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The schools colors, representive of the Florida orange tree, were selected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms. The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called the perfect college

6town, making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the old-est schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the states principal industry. The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces. North Carolina State University is located in the state capital of Raleigh. It opened in 1889 as a land-grant agricultural and mechanical school and was known as A&M or Aggies or Farmers for over a quarter-century. The schools colors of pink and blue were gone by 1895, brown and white were tried for a year, but the students fi nally chose red and white to represent the school. An unhappy fan in 1922 said State football players behaved like a pack of wolves, and the term that was coined in derision became a badge of honor. The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of the grounds as the campus is called. Jefferson wanted his school to educate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University was established in 1872 as an all-male military school dedicated to the original land-grant mission of teaching agriculture and engineering. The University has grown from a small college of 132 students into the largest institution of higher education in the state. Located in Southwest Virginia on a plateau between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains, the campus consists of 334 buildings and 20 miles of sidewalks over 2,600 acres. The offi cial

school colors - Chicago maroon and burnt orange - were selected in 1896 because they made a unique combination not worn elsewhere at the time. Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jones plantation amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to Winston-Salem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman at-tended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wakes colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck who died before he graduated.

7ACC Basketball on Television

January 8, 1955 The fi rst televised ACC basketball game, a 95-78 victory by North Carolina over Wake Forest, appeared on public television, WUNC-TV, to fans within a 50-mile radius of Chapel Hill, according to Ron Morris ACC Basketball: An Il-lustrated History. Reaction was mixed. Although the game was a sell-out, the Duke-NC State game, played at the same time in Durham, was 2,000 short of capacity, threatening the future of TV games for fear of their effect on gate receipts.

January 16, 1956 North Carolinas 64-55 victory over Maryland was the fi rst of three television productions called Broadvision, a unique simulcast agreement between WUNC-TV and a number of radio stations. WUNC-TV televised the games without sound so that viewers would be encouraged to listen to the radio. Subsequent Broadvision games were North Carolina vs. NC State on Jan. 18, and North Carolina vs. Wake Forest on Feb. 15.

March 15, 1957 The fi rst TV basketball game to be broadcast live across North Carolina was North Carolinas 87-75 victory over Canisius in the NCAA East Regional semifi nals at Philadel-phias Palestra. Convinced that basketball would make for ap-pealing viewing, an independent TV producer named Castleman DeTolley Chesley would become synonymous with the ACC for two decades. In less than one week, he had secured the neces-sary equipment, found sponsors and announcers and arranged telephone lines for the games production. The game was broad-cast through WPPB-TV studios in Wilmington, Del., and aired on Charlottes WBTV, Durhams WTVD and Greensboros WFMY.

March 22-23, 1957 Chesley set up a fi ve-station network to televise live the Tar Heels remarkable Final Four run in Kansas City. Fans back in North Carolina were able to see two triple-overtime games the 74-70 win over Michigan State in the semifi nals on March 22, and the 54-53 win over Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain in the Championship on March 23.

Without question, television has contributed immeasurably to the success of ACC basketball. What began with fear of its impact on attendance and received mixed reviews from coaches and administrators initially became a cultural phenomenon throughout the southeastern U.S. In the 50s, ACC fans got to see one of the greatest NCAA title games ever played. In the 60s, ACC basketball was regionally televised on a regular basis before the fi rst national telecast of a college basketball game. In the 70s, families bonded around the TV on Saturday afternoons and Wednesday evenings, the Friday of ACC Tourna-ment quarterfi nals became an annual vacation day for schoolchildren and career professionals, and the rest of the nation began to realize why ACC basketball was so overwhelmingly popular. By the 80s, the ACC was the premier conference for college basketball, thanks in part to its exposure on regional and national television. In the 90s, Raycom and ABC formed a unique relationship whereby ACC basketball became the largest purchase of network time ever. Since the 2000 season, a total of 1,836 regular season and ACC Tournament games have been televised in addition to NCAA Tournament games.

December 7, 1957 The fi rst live ACC-TV network began with North Carolina defeating Clemson 79-55 at Chapel Hill, the fi rst of 11 Saturday afternoon games over 12 stations. Producer C.D. Chesley had purchased the rights from the ACC, with the eight member schools dividing the revenue.

January 14, 1973 The fi rst Super Bowl Sunday game took ACC basketball on TV to another level. No. 3-ranked NC State defeated No. 2-ranked Maryland 87-85 at College Park on a follow tip at the buzzer by David Thompson. Thompson scored 37 points as an estimated national TV audience of 25 million watched moments before the Super Bowl kickoff.

March 4, 1978 In the fi rst nationally televised ACC Tourna-ment Championship (during ABCs Wide World of Sports), Duke defeated Wake Forest 85-77 for the Blue Devils fi rst title in 12 years. Fearing a Saturday afternoon tip-off for TV would result in sloppy play, the quarterfi nals and semifi nals had been moved to Wednesday and Thursday, respectively the only time the Tournament was not played on successive days. Also for the fi rst time, all seven games were televised live.

1979 Charlotte entrepreneurs Rick Ray and Dee Birk launched Raycom to televise a package of ACC games in North Carolina, including NC State in Alaskas Seawolf Classic (renamed Great Alaska Shootout) and seven North Carolina road games.

1984 A brief experiment of a Season Ticket package for 31 ACC games was abandoned.

1999 During the 1998-99 season, the ACC became the fi rst conference in college basketball history to have all of its conference games (72 in all) televised live on a regional or national basis.

August 3, 2000 Fox Sports Net, Raycom and the ACC an-nounced a 10-year agreement for a national ACC Sunday Night Game of the Week.

July 8, 2010 - ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) reached a 12-year agreement for exclusive rights to every conference-controlled football and mens basketball game, plus womens basketball and Olympic sports matchups, and conference championships. The agreement, which begins in 2011-12 will continue through 2022-23. It will result in ap-proximately 4,800 ACC events over the 12 years on ESPNs television outlets, digital and mobile platforms, syndication and more. Additionally, through a new sublicense arrangement with ESPN, Raycom Sports will continue its long-standing position as the syndication home of ACC content for over-the-air and regional cable network distribution in the ACC market and beyond.

Television producer and syndicator Castleman DeTolley C.D. Chesley was a pioneer in televising ACC basketball, fi rst across the state with the 1957 Final Four, and later around the region and the country. Chesley never played the game. His only as-sociation with an ACC school was the one year he spent playing freshman football at North Carolina, before he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he became the football teams captain and a showman in the schools traveling comedy troupe. But no one exposed ACC basketball to more people than Chesley, thanks to his pioneering efforts as an executive producer in mostly regional broadcasts to an insatiable audience - Greensboro (NC) News & Record, March 9, 2003.
