At the annual event, ACC coaches, players and Commissioner John Swofford would have faced questions from reporters about the start of the college football season.

After the Big Ten and Pac-12 canceled non-conference games, Swofford issued a statement Friday, saying the ACC Board of Directors plans to make a decision about the season by the end of July.
