In 1953, seven universities seceded from the NCAA's Southern
Conference to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. Founding members
Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State,
South Carolina and Wake Forest were soon joined by Virginia.
Inspired by national academic and gambling scandals, and a bowl
game crisis in 1951, the ACC's leaders hoped to reduce the
commercialism and professionalism that permeated college athletics
in the 1950s. This first ever full-length history examines founding
of the ACC, the star athletes and coaches and football and
basketball season highlights, along with the negotiations that led
to the creation one of America's most successful athletic
conferences.
