2014 ACC media days guide: Schedule, how to watch online, player list and more
Jameis Winston, Bobby Petrino and Vic Beasley are among the big names at this year’s ACC Football Kickoff event.
The ACC Kickoff is a two-day event in which media members head to Greensboro, N.C., to talk with ACC coaches, players and other associated conference personnel. It’s not quite the four-day SEC extravaganza that just passed, but there are some high-profile names and programs that will be there.
When is it?
Sunday, July 20 through Monday, July 21. It runs from 12:30 p.m. ET to 6 p.m. on Sunday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday.
Can I watch any of it online?
You sure can! TheACC.com has you covered. It’ll have live coverage during the proceedings and archived footage after, so you can even catch up after work if necessary. If you’re on Twitter, follow our Bud Elliott (@TomahawkNation) and Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis), who are in Greensboro.

Who’s the one coach everyone must listen to?
Bobby Petrino is back at Louisville after a rocky exit, and will surely be asked some pressing questions by the media during his presser. Dabo Swinney’s presser will feature probably the most excited coach at the event, but Jimbo Fisher’s speed-talking might but him in the running. Also keep an ear on the other newcomer (besides Petrino), Wake Forest’s Dave Clawson.
Will any actual news happen?
Yep! Usually roster and injury updates, as well as potential depth chart movement. In addition, the preseason poll is announced Monday, and the preseason All-ACC teams are announced Wednesday.
