Mike Rutherford Show 08-27-26
Q: What is the ACC's stance on eligibility and pro-league participation under the new rules?
The ACC requires not listing players who had NFL/NBA/WNBA contracts or were listed on pro rosters, while allowing overseas professional play to preserve eligibility; it clarifies withdrawal rules and transfer conditions, distinguishing from the Big 12's broader prohibition.

He emphasizes readiness but acknowledges the coaching staff's cautious approach.
