The ongoing Penn State tragedy has been a topic of discussion throughout the offseason, and the Media Days spectacle is no different.
Coaches and administrators were questioned at the SEC version of the event last week, and ACC Commissioner John Swofford offered his stance earlier on Sunday.
As a collective unit, the ACC coaches jumped the gun.
The 12 coaches released a statement during the first day of the ACC Kickoff — a day before their official appearance in front of the media — regarding the situation in State College.
“The situation at Penn State is a tragedy from all angles, most specifically for the victims,” the statement read. “It’s our responsibility to represent the institutions we serve, while always being mindful of our place within college athletics."
