Conferencia de la Costa Atlántica

La Conferencia de la Costa Atlántica ( ACC ) es una conferencia atlética universitaria ubicada en los Estados Unidos . Con sede en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte , las dieciocho universidades miembro de la ACC compiten en la División I de la Asociación Nacional de Atletismo Universitario (NCAA) . Los equipos de fútbol de la ACC compiten en la Subdivisión Bowl de Fútbol de la División I de la NCAA . La ACC patrocina competencias en veintisiete deportes y muchas de sus instituciones miembro son muy respetadas a nivel nacional. Los miembros actuales de la conferencia son: Boston College , California , Clemson , Duke , Florida State , Georgia Tech , Louisville , Miami , Carolina del Norte , NC State , Notre Dame , Pittsburgh , SMU , Stanford , Syracuse , Virginia , Virginia Tech y Wake Forest .

Los equipos y atletas de la ACC han ganado docenas de campeonatos nacionales en múltiples deportes a lo largo de la historia de la conferencia. Por lo general, los mejores atletas y equipos de la ACC en un deporte en particular en un año determinado se consideran entre los mejores competidores universitarios del país. Además, la conferencia disfruta de una amplia cobertura mediática. Con la llegada del College Football Playoff en 2014, la ACC es una de las "Cuatro Poderosas" conferencias con un vínculo contractual con un partido de bowl de la edición de Año Nuevo de la sexta ronda del fútbol americano.

La ACC fue fundada el 8 de mayo de 1953 por siete universidades ubicadas en los Estados del Atlántico Sur , y la Universidad de Virginia se unió a principios de diciembre de 1953 para llevar la membresía a ocho. [2] La pérdida de Carolina del Sur en 1971 redujo la membresía a siete, mientras que la adición de Georgia Tech en 1979 para deportes no futbolísticos y en 1983 para fútbol americano la trajo de vuelta a ocho, y la llegada de Florida State en 1991 para deportes no futbolísticos y en 1992 para fútbol americano aumentó la membresía a nueve. Desde 2000, con la reorganización generalizada de la NCAA, diez escuelas adicionales se han unido, y un miembro original (Maryland) se ha ido para llevarla a la membresía actual de 18 escuelas. Las incorporaciones en los últimos años extendieron la huella de la conferencia al Noreste , Medio Oeste y Oeste .

Universidades miembros

Miembros actuales

El ACC cuenta con 18 instituciones miembros de 12 estados. Enumerados en orden alfabético, estos 12 estados dentro de la huella geográfica del ACC son California , Florida , Georgia , Indiana , Kentucky , Massachusetts , Nueva York , Carolina del Norte , Pensilvania , Carolina del Sur , Texas y Virginia . El dominio geográfico de la conferencia se encuentra predominantemente dentro del sur y noreste de los Estados Unidos a lo largo de la costa atlántica estadounidense, pero la reciente realineación de la conferencia la ha llevado a California y Texas. Se extiende desde Florida en el sur hasta Nueva York en el norte y desde California en el oeste hasta Massachusetts más al este.

Cuando Notre Dame se unió a la ACC, decidió seguir siendo un equipo de fútbol independiente . Sin embargo, su equipo de fútbol estableció un acuerdo de programación especial con la ACC para jugar una selección rotativa de cinco equipos de fútbol de la ACC por temporada. Para la temporada 2020 , debido en gran parte a la suspensión de la mayoría de los juegos no pertenecientes a la conferencia por parte de otras conferencias Power Five debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 en los Estados Unidos , la ACC llegó a un acuerdo para permitir que Notre Dame jugara un calendario completo de conferencia de 10 juegos y fuera elegible para jugar por el campeonato de la ACC. [3]

Desde el 2 de agosto de 2024, los 18 miembros de la ACC son:

Notas
  1. ^ Aunque Florida State se unió a la ACC para la mayoría de los deportes durante el año escolar 1991-92, no compitió por el campeonato de fútbol de la liga hasta la temporada de otoño de 1992 (año escolar 1992-93). [6]
  2. ^ Aunque Georgia Tech se unió a la ACC durante la temporada 1979-80, no compitió por el campeonato de fútbol de la liga hasta la temporada de otoño de 1983 (año escolar 1983-84). [7]
  3. ^ El campus de la SMU está ubicado casi en su totalidad en University Park, Texas , que, junto con la ciudad adyacente de Highland Park , está completamente rodeada por la ciudad de Dallas. Sin embargo, el Servicio Postal de los Estados Unidos considera que todas las ubicaciones en University Park tienen una dirección de Dallas.

Antiguos miembros

En 1971, la Universidad de Carolina del Sur abandonó la ACC para convertirse en una organización independiente , uniéndose más tarde a la Conferencia Metro en 1983 y mudándose a su sede actual, la Conferencia del Sureste , en 1991. El 1 de julio de 2014, la Universidad de Maryland partió hacia la Conferencia Big Ten .

Historia

Fundación y expansión temprana

La ACC se estableció el 14 de junio de 1953, cuando siete miembros de la Conferencia Sur se marcharon para formar su propia conferencia. [n 1] [8] Estas siete universidades se convirtieron en miembros fundadores de la ACC: Clemson , Duke , Maryland , Carolina del Norte , North Carolina State , Carolina del Sur y Wake Forest . Se marcharon en parte debido a la prohibición de la Conferencia Sur de jugar fútbol americano en la postemporada que se había iniciado en 1951. (Tanto Clemson como Maryland habían desafiado la regla de los bowls de la Conferencia Sur después de la temporada de 1951 y se les prohibió jugar contra otros equipos de la conferencia en la temporada de 1952). [9] Después de redactar un conjunto de estatutos para la creación de una nueva liga, los siete se retiraron de la Conferencia Sur en la reunión de primavera de la mañana del 8 de mayo de 1953, en el Sedgefield Country Club en Greensboro, Carolina del Norte . Los estatutos fueron ratificados el 14 de junio de 1953 y se creó la nueva conferencia. [10] Los funcionarios de la conferencia indicaron su deseo de añadir un octavo miembro, y los candidatos mencionados fueron Virginia , VPI y West Virginia . [11] El 4 de diciembre de 1953, los funcionarios se reunieron en Greensboro, Carolina del Norte , y admitieron a Virginia, un antiguo miembro fundador de la Conferencia Sur que había sido independiente desde 1937, en la conferencia. [12] El presidente de Virginia, Colgate Darden, argumentó ferozmente en contra de unirse a la ACC o a cualquier conferencia, mientras que el director deportivo de la UVA, Gus Tebell, argumentó a favor. [13] Al final, la Junta de Visitantes de la UVA aprobó unirse a la ACC por una votación de 6 a 3. [13]

En 1960, la ACC implementó un puntaje mínimo en el SAT para los estudiantes deportistas que ingresaban de 750, siendo la primera conferencia en hacerlo. Este mínimo se elevó a 800 en 1964, pero finalmente fue anulado por un tribunal federal en 1972. [14]

El 1 de julio de 1971, Carolina del Sur abandonó la ACC para convertirse en un estado independiente .

Integración racial

La integración racial de los equipos deportivos universitarios compuestos exclusivamente por blancos ocupó un lugar destacado en la agenda regional durante los años 1950 y 1960. Se trataba de cuestiones de igualdad, racismo y la demanda de los ex alumnos de contar con los mejores jugadores necesarios para ganar partidos de alto perfil. La ACC tomó la iniciativa. [ vago ] Primero comenzaron a programar equipos integrados del norte. Finalmente, las escuelas de la ACC, generalmente bajo la presión de los promotores y los grupos de derechos civiles, integraron sus equipos. [15] Con una base de ex alumnos que dominaba la política, la sociedad y los negocios locales y estatales, las escuelas insignia de la ACC tuvieron éxito en su esfuerzo; como sostiene Pamela Grundy, habían aprendido a ganar:

La admiración generalizada que inspiraba la capacidad atlética ayudaría a transformar los campos deportivos de terrenos de juego simbólico en fuerzas de cambio social, lugares donde una amplia gama de ciudadanos podría desafiar públicamente y a veces de manera efectiva las suposiciones que los consideraban indignos de participar plenamente en la sociedad estadounidense. Si bien los éxitos deportivos no librarían a la sociedad de los prejuicios o estereotipos, los atletas negros seguirían enfrentándose a insultos raciales... [—los jugadores estrella de las minorías demostraron] la disciplina, la inteligencia y el aplomo necesarios para competir por una posición o influencia en todos los ámbitos de la vida nacional. [16]

Ampliaciones de 1978 y 1991

La ACC operó con siete miembros hasta la incorporación de Georgia Tech de la Conferencia Metro , anunciada el 3 de abril de 1978 y que entró en vigor el 1 de julio de 1979, excepto en fútbol, ​​en el que Tech seguiría siendo independiente hasta unirse al fútbol de la ACC en 1983. El número total de escuelas miembro llegó a nueve con la incorporación de Florida State , también anteriormente de la Conferencia Metro, el 1 de julio de 1991, en deportes no relacionados con el fútbol y el 1 de julio de 1992, en fútbol. Las incorporaciones de esas escuelas marcaron las primeras expansiones de la huella de la conferencia desde 1953, aunque ambas escuelas todavía estaban ubicadas con el resto de las escuelas de la ACC en los estados del Atlántico Sur.

Expansión 2004-2005

La ACC agregó tres miembros de la Conferencia Big East durante la realineación de la conferencia de 2005. Inicialmente, la conferencia apuntó a Boston College, Miami y Syracuse . La expansión fue controvertida, ya que Connecticut , Rutgers , Pittsburgh y West Virginia (y, inicialmente, Virginia Tech) presentaron demandas contra la ACC, Miami y Boston College por supuestamente conspirar para debilitar la Conferencia Big East. El entonces gobernador de Virginia, Mark Warner , que temía que Virginia Tech se quedara atrás en una Big East debilitada, presionó a la administración de la Universidad de Virginia para que presionara en nombre de su enemigo estatal. Finalmente, Virginia Tech reemplazó a Syracuse en la alineación de expansión y se acordó la expansión de la ACC. Miami y Virginia Tech se unieron el 1 de julio de 2004, mientras que Boston College se unió el 1 de julio de 2005, como el duodécimo miembro de la liga y el primero del noreste.

2010-presente

2010-2022

El Salón de la Fama de la ACC se inauguró el 2 de marzo de 2011, junto al estadio Greensboro Coliseum, convirtiendo a la ACC en la segunda conferencia deportiva universitaria en tener un salón de la fama después de la Conferencia Sur . [17] [n 2]

El 17 de septiembre de 2011, los miembros de la Conferencia Big East, la Universidad de Syracuse y la Universidad de Pittsburgh, solicitaron unirse a la ACC. [19] Las dos escuelas fueron aceptadas en la conferencia al día siguiente, ampliando una vez más la huella de la conferencia como las expansiones anteriores. [20] Debido a que la Big East tenía la intención de mantener a Pitt y Syracuse en el período de notificación de 27 meses requerido por los estatutos de la liga, la fecha de entrada más probable en la ACC (salvo negociaciones) era el 1 de julio de 2014. [21] Sin embargo, en julio de 2012, la Big East llegó a un acuerdo con Syracuse y Pitt que permitió a las dos escuelas abandonar la Big East el 1 de julio de 2013. [22] [23]

El 12 de septiembre de 2012, Notre Dame acordó unirse a la ACC en todos los deportes de la conferencia, excepto fútbol y hockey sobre hielo masculino (ya que la ACC no patrocina el hockey sobre hielo masculino; de todas las demás universidades de la ACC, solo Boston College patrocina el hockey sobre hielo masculino) como el primer miembro de la conferencia en el Medio Oeste de los Estados Unidos . Como parte del acuerdo, Notre Dame se comprometió a jugar cinco partidos de fútbol cada temporada contra las escuelas de la ACC a partir de 2014. [24] El 12 de marzo de 2013, Notre Dame y la Big East anunciaron que habían llegado a un acuerdo que permitía a Notre Dame unirse a la ACC a partir del 1 de julio de 2013. [25]

El 19 de noviembre de 2012, la Junta de Regentes de la Universidad de Maryland votó retirarse de la ACC para unirse a la Conferencia Big Ten a partir de 2014. [26] La semana siguiente, la Universidad de Louisville de la Big East aceptó la invitación de la ACC para convertirse en miembro de pleno derecho, reemplazando a Maryland a partir del 1 de julio de 2014. [27]

Los presidentes de la ACC anunciaron el 22 de abril de 2013 que las 15 escuelas que serían miembros de la conferencia en 2014-15 habían firmado una concesión de derechos de medios (GOR), con vigencia inmediata y vigente hasta el año escolar 2026-27, coincidiendo con la duración del acuerdo de televisión vigente en ese momento de la conferencia con ESPN . Esta medida esencialmente evita que la ACC sea un objetivo para otras conferencias que buscan expandirse: según la concesión, si una escuela abandona la conferencia durante el período del contrato, todos los ingresos derivados de los derechos de medios de esa escuela para los juegos locales pertenecerían a la ACC y no a la escuela. [28] La medida también dejó a la SEC como la única de las conferencias FBS Power Five sin un GOR. [29]

En julio de 2016, el GOR se extendió hasta el año escolar 2035-36, coincidiendo con la firma de un nuevo acuerdo de 20 años con ESPN que transformaría la entonces actual red ad hoc ACC en una red completa. La nueva red se lanzó como un servicio digital en el año escolar 2016-17 y como una red lineal en agosto de 2019. [30]

El 24 de agosto de 2021, la ACC formó una alianza con las conferencias Big Ten y Pac-12 . [31] En 2022, la ACC recuperó viejas rivalidades como el Backyard Brawl entre los University of Pittsburgh Panthers y los West Virginia University Mountaineers . [32] Una rivalidad amistosa entre University of Pittsburgh Panthers y Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets en memoria del Sugar Bowl de 1956 y Bobby Grier , durante el último juego, el actor Anthony Mackie apareció en el campo para honrar a Grier y al juego. [33] [34]

Expansión 2024

El 1 de septiembre de 2023, la conferencia votó para expandirse y agregar tres nuevos miembros: California , SMU y Stanford . El anuncio fue inicialmente controvertido, dada la distancia entre las escuelas y sus miembros actuales. [35] SMU se unió el 1 de julio de 2024, proveniente de la Conferencia Atlética Estadounidense , mientras que Cal y Stanford se unieron a la ACC el 2 de agosto de 2024, debido a que el año fiscal de la Conferencia Pac-12 , su antigua conferencia, es diferente al de la mayoría de las conferencias atléticas.

Académicos y ACC

Rankings académicos

Entre las principales conferencias deportivas de la NCAA que patrocinan el fútbol americano FBS de la División I de la NCAA, incluidas las actuales " Power Five conferencias ", se ha considerado que la ACC tiene la colección de miembros con mayor clasificación académica según US News & World Report [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] y por la Tasa de Progreso Académico de la NCAA . [42] [43]

Nueve instituciones de la ACC son miembros de la Asociación de Universidades Estadounidenses : Cal, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Carolina del Norte, Stanford y Virginia. [44] [45] Syracuse fue miembro hasta 2011, pero se retiró voluntariamente debido a una disputa sobre cómo contabilizar las subvenciones no federales. [46]

ACCAC y red académica ACC

Logotipo del Consorcio Académico ACC

Los miembros del ACC participan en el Consorcio Académico de la Conferencia de la Costa Atlántica (ACCAC), un consorcio que ofrece un vehículo para la colaboración académica y administrativa interinstitucional entre las universidades miembro. El ACCAC, que surgió de un programa de intercambio de estudiantes de doctorado que se estableció en 1999 y que abarcó toda la conferencia, ha ampliado su alcance a otras colaboraciones nacionales e internacionales. [59]

La misión declarada de la ACCAC es "aprovechar las asociaciones y las identidades deportivas entre las 15 universidades de la ACC para enriquecer las misiones educativas de las universidades miembro". Con ese fin, la colaboración ayuda a organizar diversas iniciativas académicas, incluidos programas de becas y becas, iniciativas de investigación global, conferencias de liderazgo y amplios programas de estudio en el extranjero. [60] La financiación de sus operaciones, el 90% de la cual se destina al apoyo directo a los estudiantes, se deriva de una parte de los ingresos generados por el Campeonato de Fútbol de la ACC y de asignaciones complementarias de universidades individuales y diversas subvenciones. [61]

Programas académicos de ACCAC

Los principales programas académicos que se han implementado bajo ACCAC incluyen:

La ACCAC también apoya reuniones periódicas entre profesores, administradores y personal que persiguen intereses y responsabilidades similares en las universidades miembro, ya sea mediante conferencias presenciales, videoconferencias o conferencias telefónicas. Los grupos de afinidad de la ACCAC incluyen a los de los Oficiales de Asuntos Internacionales, Directores de Estudios en el Extranjero, Directores de Centros de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje, Directores de Información, Directores de Adquisiciones, Coordinadores de Conferencias de Investigación de Pregrado, Vicepresidentes de Asuntos Estudiantiles, Coordinadores de Conferencias de Liderazgo Estudiantil y Representantes Atléticos de la Facultad ante la ACC. [74]

Ingresos del departamento de atletismo por escuela

Los ingresos totales incluyen las ventas de entradas, contribuciones y donaciones, derechos y licencias, cuotas de estudiantes, fondos escolares y todas las demás fuentes, incluidos los ingresos de televisión, los ingresos del campamento, las concesiones y las novedades.

Los gastos totales incluyen salarios de entrenadores y personal, becas, edificios y terrenos, mantenimiento, servicios públicos y tarifas de alquiler, reclutamiento, viajes del equipo, equipamiento y uniformes, cuotas de conferencias y seguros.

Deportes

La Conferencia de la Costa Atlántica patrocina la competición de campeonato en trece deportes masculinos y quince femeninos sancionados por la NCAA. [84] Los deportes añadidos más recientemente son la gimnasia femenina y la esgrima . La gimnasia se añadió para el año escolar 2023-24 con la participación de Clemson, Carolina del Norte, North Carolina State y Pitt. [85] La esgrima se añadió para el año escolar 2014-15 después de haber estado ausente de la conferencia desde 1980; Boston College, Duke, Carolina del Norte y Notre Dame participan en ese deporte. [86]

Dado que todos los miembros actuales de la ACC (incluido Notre Dame, que no es miembro del equipo de fútbol americano) tienen equipos de fútbol americano de la FBS, están sujetos al requisito de la NCAA de que las escuelas de la FBS tengan al menos 16 equipos en deportes universitarios reconocidos por la NCAA. Sin embargo, la propia ACC exige el patrocinio de solo cuatro deportes: fútbol americano, baloncesto masculino, baloncesto femenino y fútbol femenino o voleibol femenino. [87] Todos los miembros de la ACC patrocinan los cinco deportes nombrados, excepto Georgia Tech, que patrocina el voleibol femenino, pero no el fútbol femenino.

Campeones actuales

Fútbol americano

La ACC es considerada una de las cinco conferencias más importantes , todas las cuales reciben la colocación automática de sus campeones de fútbol en uno de los seis juegos de tazón principales. Siete de sus miembros reclaman campeonatos nacionales de fútbol en su historia, dos de los cuales ganaron la ahora extinta Bowl Championship Series (BCS) durante su existencia entre 1998 y 2014 y uno ganó bajo el actual sistema College Football Playoff (CFP). Cinco de sus miembros se encuentran entre los 25 mejores programas de fútbol universitario con más victorias de todos los tiempos. [101] Tres equipos de la ACC, Florida State, Miami y Clemson, figuran entre los 10 programas de fútbol más exitosos desde 2000.

Divisiones y programación

En 2005, la ACC comenzó a jugar divisionalmente en fútbol americano. En ese momento, la ACC era la única conferencia de la División I de la NCAA cuyas divisiones no estaban divididas geográficamente (por ejemplo, norte-sur, este/oeste), [102] sino en Atlántico y Costa (este arreglo continúa hoy en día para los deportes de béisbol y fútbol masculino). Los dos líderes de división luego compitieron en el Juego de Campeonato de la ACC para determinar el campeonato de la conferencia, que garantiza un lugar en un juego de tazón de Año Nuevo. El Juego de Campeonato inaugural se jugó el 3 de diciembre de 2005, en Jacksonville, Florida , en el lugar entonces conocido como Alltel Stadium , en el que Florida State derrotó a Virginia Tech para capturar su 12º campeonato desde que se unió a la liga en 1992. Notre Dame comenzó a jugar contra varios equipos de la ACC cada año en 2014, pero no se considera un miembro del fútbol americano y no es elegible para jugar en el Juego de Campeonato de la ACC. [103]

El 28 de junio de 2022, la ACC aprobó un nuevo formato de calendario de fútbol, ​​que entrará en vigor en la temporada 2023. Bajo este formato, la conferencia eliminará las divisiones y, en su lugar, jugará un formato 3-5-5, donde cada equipo juega contra 3 rivales designados cada año junto con dos rotaciones separadas de 5 equipos que se cambian cada dos años, de modo que cada equipo tendrá al menos un partido en casa y un partido fuera de casa contra todos los demás equipos en un ciclo de cuatro años (la duración estándar de la carrera de un jugador universitario). La participación en el juego de campeonato de la ACC tampoco estará determinada por los ganadores de las dos divisiones; jugarán en su lugar los dos equipos con el mayor porcentaje de victorias de la conferencia. [104] [105] Los rivales designados bajo este sistema fueron los siguientes:

Con la llegada en 2024 de California, SMU y Stanford, la ACC adoptó un nuevo modelo de programación que entró en vigencia esa temporada y se extenderá hasta la temporada 2030. Se protegerán un total de 16 enfrentamientos, de los cuales 11 se conservarán del modelo de 2023, dos (Miami-Virginia Tech y NC State-Wake Forest) se restaurarán del formato divisional anterior y los tres nuevos miembros ocuparán los tres espacios restantes. Todos los equipos jugarán entre sí al menos dos veces en el ciclo (una vez en casa, una vez fuera). Cada uno de los miembros anteriores a 2024 jugará tres veces en California durante el ciclo, y ninguno viajará a California en temporadas consecutivas. [106]

Additionally, this allows for each team to schedule four non-conference games. Since the 2014 season, one of the four non-conference games is against Notre Dame every two to three years, as Notre Dame plays against five ACC opponents in non-conference games each season. ACC members are also required to play at least one non-conference game each season against a team in the "Power 5" conferences since 2017. Games against Notre Dame also meet the requirement. In January 2015, the conference announced that games against another FBS independent, BYU, would also count toward the requirement.[a][107] This requirement can also be met by scheduling other ACC teams in non-conference games; the first example of this was also announced in January 2015, when North Carolina and Wake Forest announced that they would play a home-and-home non-conference series in 2019 and 2021.[108]

Prior to this, the division format was as follows:

For the 2020 season, changes were made to the football schedule model due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of divisions was suspended, with conference games being scheduled on a regional basis. The top two teams by winning percentage against conference opponents advanced to the ACC Championship Game. All teams played 10 conference games and were permitted to play one non-conference game of their choice as long as the game was played in-state. In addition, Notre Dame played an ACC conference schedule and was eligible to (and ultimately did) play in the ACC Championship Game.[3]

Bowl games

Within the College Football Playoff, the Orange Bowl serves as the home of the ACC champion against Notre Dame or another team from the SEC or Big Ten. If the conference's champion is selected for the CFP, another ACC team will be chosen in its place.

The other bowls pick ACC teams in the order set by agreements between the conference and the bowls.

Beginning in 2014, Notre Dame is eligible for selection as the ACC's representative to any of its contracted bowl games. The ACC's bowl selection will no longer be bound by the rigidity of a "one-win rule" but will have a general list of criteria to emphasize regionality and quality matchups on the field. A one-win rule does apply to Notre Dame's participation in the ACC Bowl structure. Notre Dame is now eligible for ACC Bowl selection beginning with the ReliaQuest Bowl (previously named the Outback Bowl) and continuing through the league's bowl selections. However, Notre Dame must be within one win of the ACC available team which has the best overall record, in order to be chosen. In other words, if an ACC team were 9–3, a 7–5 Notre Dame team could not be chosen in its place. Notre Dame would have to be 8–4 to be chosen over a 9–3 league team. For the 2020 season only, Notre Dame competed for the ACC conference championship and was eligible for all games, including the Orange Bowl.

  1. ^ With BYU's move to the Big 12 in 2023, it will no longer be an independent.
  2. ^ If the ACC Champion is not in one of the semifinal games it will appear in the Orange Bowl or, if the Orange Bowl is a semifinal site, either the Peach Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl. There is no limit on how many teams the College Football Playoff may choose from a particular conference.
  3. ^ All have equal selection status.
  4. ^ Only if the ACC opponent in the Orange Bowl, in a non-semifinal year is a team from the Big Ten, a maximum of three times in six years.
  5. ^ One ACC school will be selected to play in one of the following games.

National championships

Although the NCAA does not determine an official national champion for Division I FBS football, several ACC members claim national championships awarded by various "major selectors" of national championships as recognized in the official NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records.[115] Since 1936 and 1950 respectively, these include what are now the most pervasive and influential selectors, the Associated Press poll and Coaches Poll. In addition, from 1998 to 2013 the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) used a mathematical formula to match the top two teams at the end of the season. The winner of the BCS was contractually awarded the Coaches' Poll national championship and its AFCA National Championship Trophy as well as the MacArthur Trophy from the National Football Foundation. Maryland won one championship as a member of the ACC in 1953.

  1. ^ Duke has an NCAA recognized football National Championship from major selector Berryman(QPRS) from 1936, though Duke does not recognize the championship.[116]
  2. ^ A "list of college football's mythical champions as selected by every recognized authority since 1924" was printed in Sports Illustrated in 1967.[117] Together with the 1976 national championship which would come later, the national championship selections listed by Sports Illustrated have since served as the historical basis of the university's national championship claims.[118] For the 1934 season, the Sports Illustrated article included a selection by Parke Davis, then deceased, which had appeared the 1935 edition of the annual Spalding's Football Guide under Davis' byline. The 1934 selection is not documented in the Official NCAA Football Records Book with the rest of Pitt's claimed seasons, although additional major selections for Pitt, which are not claimed by the university, are listed in 1910, 1980, and 1981.[119] College Football Data Warehouse recognizes nine championships for Pitt (1910, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1929, 1931, 1936, 1937, and 1976)[120] out of the 16 years which it has documented that Pitt was named as a national champion by various selectors.[121]

Intra-conference football rivalries

The members of the ACC have longstanding rivalries with each other, especially on the football field. The following is a list of active rivalries and protected annual matchups in the ACC with totals & records through the completion of the 2023 season.

Interconference football rivalries

Notre Dame is a non-football member of the ACC, but has several rivalries with ACC members.

Basketball

History

The early roots of ACC basketball began primarily thanks to two men: Everett Case and Frank McGuire. Case accepted the head coaching job at North Carolina State. Case's North Carolina State teams dominated the early years of the ACC with a modern, fast-paced style of play. He became the fastest college basketball coach to reach many "games won" milestones. Case became known as The Father of ACC Basketball. Despite his success on the court, he may have been even a better promoter off-the-court. Case realized the need to sell his program and university. State started construction on Reynolds Coliseum in 1941. Case persuaded school officials to expand the arena to 12,400 people. It opened as the new home court for his team in 1949; at the time, it was the largest on-campus arena in the South. As such, it was used as the host site for many Southern Conference tournaments, ACC tournaments, and the Dixie Classic. The Dixie Classic brought in large revenues for all schools involved and soon became one of the premier sporting events in the South.

Partly to counter Case's success, North Carolina convinced Frank McGuire to come to Chapel Hill in 1952. McGuire knew that, largely due to Case's influence, basketball was now the major high school athletic event of the region. He not only tapped the growing market of high school talent in North Carolina, but also brought several recruits from his home territory in New York City as well. Case and McGuire literally invented a rivalry. Both men realized the benefits created through a rivalry between them. It brought more national attention to both of their programs and increased fan support on both sides.

After State was slapped with crippling NCAA sanctions before the 1956–57 season, McGuire's North Carolina team delivered the ACC its first national championship. During the Tar Heels' championship run, Greensboro entrepreneur Castleman D. Chesley noticed the popularity that it generated. He cobbled together a five-station television network to broadcast the Final Four. That network began broadcasting regular season ACC games the following season—the ancestor of the television package from Raycom Sports. From that point on, ACC basketball gained large popularity.

The ACC has been the home of many prominent basketball coaches besides Case and McGuire, including Terry Holland and Tony Bennett of Virginia; Vic Bubas and Mike Krzyzewski of Duke; Press Maravich, Norm Sloan and Jim Valvano of North Carolina State; Dean Smith and Roy Williams of North Carolina; Bones McKinney and Dave Odom of Wake Forest; Lefty Driesell and Gary Williams of Maryland; Bobby Cremins of Georgia Tech; Jim Boeheim of Syracuse; Jim Larrañaga of Miami; and Rick Pitino of Louisville.

Tournament as championship

Possibly Case's most lasting contribution is the ACC tournament, which was first played in 1954 and decides the winner of the ACC title. The ACC is unique in that it is the only Division I college basketball conference that does not recognize a regular season champion. This started when only one school per conference made the NCAA tournament. The ACC representative was determined by conference tournament rather than the regular season result. Therefore, the league eliminated the regular season title in 1961, choosing to recognize only the winner of the ACC tournament as conference champion. Fans and media do claim a regular-season title for the team that finishes first, and the NCAA recognizes a regular-season title winner in order to maintain its system of choosing NIT and NCAA tournament berths based on regular season placement.[122] For the ACC, recognition of a regular season champion is insignificant as a 1975 NCAA rule change allowed more than one team per conference to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament. As a result, the team finishing atop the ACC regular-season standings has invariably been invited to the NCAA tournament even if it did not win the ACC Tournament. Even so, any claim to a regular season "title" remains unofficial and carries no reward other than top seed in the ACC tournament.

Historically, the ACC has been dominated by the four teams from Tobacco Road in North Carolina—North Carolina, Duke, North Carolina State and Wake Forest. Between them, they have won 50 tournament titles. They have also won or shared 59 regular season titles, including all but four since 1981. The Virginia Cavaliers, however, won the regular season titles in 2014 and 2015, becoming the first ACC team besides Duke or North Carolina to solely win back-to-back regular season titles since NC State was undefeated in conference play in 1972–73 and 1973–74. NC State also was undefeated in the ACC Tournament during those two seasons.

Present-day schedule

For 53 years, the ACC employed a double round-robin schedule in the regular season, in which each team played the others twice a season. With the expansion to 12 members by the 2005–2006 season, the ACC schedule could no longer accommodate this format. In the new scheduling format that was agreed to, each team was assigned two permanent partners and nine rotating partners over a three-year period.[123] Teams played their permanent partners in a home-and-away series each year. The rotating partners were split into three groups: three teams played in a home-and-away series, three teams played at home, and three teams played on the road. The rotating partner groups were rotated so that a team would play each permanent partner six times, and each rotating partner four times, over a three-year period.

For the 2012–13 season, the 12-team in-conference schedule expanded to 18. Originally for the 2013–14 season, the expanded 14-team, 18-game schedule was to consist of a home and away game with a "primary partner" while the remaining conference opponents would have rotated in groups of three: one year both home and away, one year at home only, and one year away only.[124] However, when Notre Dame was also added for the 2013–14 season, the now 15-team, 18-game schedule was modified so each school played two "Partners" home and away annually, two home and away, five home, and the other five away.[125] In 2013–14, after 1 year at 18 games, women's basketball went back to a 16-game schedule where each team only plays 2 teams twice, rotating opponents each year over seven years and has no permanent partners. In 2019–2020, with the launch of the ACC Network, the men's schedule expanded to 20 games and the women's schedule expanded to 18 games.

The ACC and the Big Ten Conference have held the ACC–Big Ten Challenge each season since 1999. The competition is a series of regular-season games pitting ACC and Big Ten teams against each other. Each team typically plays one Challenge game each season, except for a few teams from the larger conference that are left out due to unequal conference sizes. The first ACC–Big Ten Women's Challenge was played in 2007, and has the same format as the men's Challenge.

National championships and Final Fours

Over the course of its existence, ACC schools have captured 15 NCAA men's basketball championships while members of the conference. North Carolina has won six, Duke has won five, NC State has won two, and Maryland and Virginia have each won one. Four more national titles were won by current ACC members while in other conferences—three by 2014 arrival Louisville and one by 2013 arrival Syracuse; Louisville was forced to vacate the third national title due to NCAA sanctions. Seven of the 12 pre-2013 members have advanced to the Final Four at least once while members of the ACC. Another pre-2013 member, Florida State, made the Final Four once before joining the ACC. All three schools that entered the ACC in 2013, as well as Louisville, advanced to the Final Four at least once before joining the conference. Two of the three schools that joined in 2024, Bay Area rivals California and Stanford, have each won one NCAA title.

Also notable are earlier national championships from historical eras prior to the dominance of the NCAA-administered championship. The ACC is often credited with forcing the NCAA tournament to expand to allow more than one team per conference, creating the at-large NCAA field common today.[126] The Helms Athletic Foundation selected national champions for seasons predating the beginning of the NCAA tournament (1939), including North Carolina, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, and future member Stanford. Prior to the at-large era (1975), the National Invitation Tournament championship had prestige comparable to the NCAA championship, and Louisville, North Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia Tech won titles during this period (later NIT titles are not considered consensus national championships).[127]

In women's basketball, ACC members have won three national championships while in the conference, North Carolina in 1994, Maryland in 2006, and Notre Dame in 2018. Notre Dame, which joined in 2013, also previously won the national title in 2001. In 2006, Duke, Maryland, and North Carolina all advanced to the Final Four, the first time a conference placed three teams in the women's Final Four. Both finalists were from the ACC, with Maryland defeating Duke for the title. One of the newest members, Stanford, won three national titles before joining the ACC (1990, 1992, 2021).

Baseball

With the ACC having abandoned football divisions in 2023, baseball is one of only two ACC-sponsored sports with a divisional split (Atlantic and Coastal), with men's soccer being the other. The alignment is shown below:

These divisions paralleled the former divisions of ACC football with the exception of Notre Dame replacing Syracuse, the only ACC school which does not field a baseball team, within the Atlantic Division, giving both divisions seven teams. Louisville replaced Maryland in the Atlantic Division beginning with the 2015 season.

Eight ACC teams were selected to play in the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, with North Carolina, Florida State, NC State and Virginia advancing to the Men's College World Series. [n 3] The ACC has won the Men's College World Series twice: by Virginia in 2015 and Wake Forest in 1955. In addition, Miami won four titles before joining the ACC,[128] and South Carolina has won two titles since leaving the league. Current member schools have appeared in the Men's College World Series a combined total of 97 times (including appearances before joining the conference). In 2008 and 2016, the ACC was ranked as the top baseball conference by Rating Percentage Index (RPI); the conference has ranked among the top three by this measure each of the past 14 years.[129]

^ Syracuse does not currently field a baseball team but has one appearance in the NCAA baseball tournament prior to joining the conference.
† The count of Men's College World Series appearances includes those made by the school prior to joining the ACC:

Field hockey

The ACC has won 22 of the 42 NCAA Championships in field hockey. Maryland won 8 as a member of the ACC.

Golf

Of the current ACC members, 14 sponsor both men's and women's golf, Georgia Tech sponsors only men's golf, Miami sponsors only women's golf, and Pitt and Syracuse do not sponsor the sport at all. Four team national championships in men's golf and seven national titles in women's golf have been won by ACC members while in the conference, led by the Duke women's team that has won seven national titles since 1999. In addition, 14 more team national titles, 11 in men's golf and 3 in women's golf, have been won by current ACC members before they joined the conference, led by Stanford (8 men's, 2 women's).

  1. ^ Duke has won the women's golf championship 7 times (1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2014, 2019)
  2. ^ Stanford has won the men's golf championship 8 times (1938, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1946, 1953, 1994, 2007, 2019)

Lacrosse

Since 1971, when the first men's national champion was determined by the NCAA, the ACC has won 19 NCAA championships, more than any other conference in college lacrosse. Virginia has won seven NCAA Championships, North Carolina has won five, Duke has won three, and Notre Dame has won the past two. Former ACC member Maryland won two NCAA Championships as an ACC member. In addition, prior to the establishment of the NCAA tournament, Maryland had won nine national championships while Virginia won two. Syracuse, which joined the ACC in 2013, won ten NCAA-sponsored national championships, the most ever by any Division I lacrosse program, before joining the conference. Since 1987, the only years in which the national championship game did not feature a current ACC member were 2015, 2017, and 2022.

Women's lacrosse has awarded a national championship since 1982, and the ACC has won more titles than any other conference. In all, the ACC has won 13 women's national championships since the conference began sponsoring the sport in 1997: former ACC member Maryland won seven, North Carolina has won three, Boston College has won two, and Virginia has one one. Additionally, Maryland won four (plus one AIAW title in 1981) and Virginia two before 1997.

Italics denotes championships before it was part of the ACC.
* Syracuse vacated its 1990 championship due to NCAA violations.

Soccer

Before the 2024 arrival of California, SMU, and Stanford, all of which sponsor men's soccer, that sport was one of the two ACC sports split into divisions. The divisional split was eliminated for 2024 and beyond. The final divisional setup was:

Fifteen of the 18 ACC schools sponsor men's soccer — a higher proportion than any of the other Power Four conferences. Only Georgia Tech, Florida State, and Miami do not sponsor soccer. Virginia has won 7 NCAA titles, and more since 1990 than any other university in the country. The ACC overall has won 19 national championships, including 16 of the 31 seasons between 1984 and 2014. Seven of the championships were won by Virginia, with the remaining nine by: Maryland (three times while they were in the ACC), Clemson (four times), North Carolina (twice), Duke, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, and Syracuse. Stanford, which joined in 2024, won three national titles before joining the ACC.

In women's soccer, North Carolina has won 21 of the 39 NCAA titles since the NCAA crowned its first champion, as well as the only Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) soccer championship in 1981. The Tar Heels have also won 22 of the 33 ACC tournaments. They lost in the final to North Carolina State in 1988 and Virginia in 2004, both times by penalty kicks. The 2010 tournament was the first in which they failed to make the championship game, falling to eventual champion Wake Forest in the semi-finals. The 2012 ACC tournament saw North Carolina's first quarterfinal loss, to the eventual champion Virginia; however, the Tar Heels went on to win the national title that season. In 2014, Florida State became the first school other than North Carolina to win the national championship as an ACC member. Notre Dame won three NCAA titles before it joined the ACC in 2013. The 2020 NCAA tournament, in which Florida State was national runner-up, was delayed until the spring of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is listed as 2020 to distinguish it from the 2021 season, which was played on the sport's traditional fall schedule. Stanford has won three women's national titles.

  1. ^ North Carolina has won 21 NCAA Championships (1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012)

NCAA team championships

The North Carolina Tar Heels have the most overall NCAA titles, 47, with 34 of those by women's teams; the Virginia Cavaliers lead the ACC in men's NCAA championships with 23.[136][137] Excluded from these totals and list are any national titles earned outside the scope of NCAA competition, including Division I FBS football titles, women's AIAW championships, equestrian titles, and retroactive Helms Athletic Foundation titles. Unofficial NCAA boxing championships are also excluded, though they were earned inside the scope of NCAA competition.

Capital One Cup standings

The Capital One Cup is an award given annually to the best men's and women's Division I college athletics programs in the United States. Points are earned throughout the year based on final standings of NCAA Championships and final coaches' poll rankings.

Notre Dame (2014, 2022, 2024) has finished first three times, and Virginia (2015 and 2019) has finished first twice for men's sports. North Carolina (2013) has once finished first on the women's side.
