Before I start writing, some takeaways from a 55-minute interview today with   #ACC commissioner John Swofford: (thread)
                        
                        
                        
                        
                                                
                    
                    
                                    
                    
                        
                        
                        1. Budgeting handful of scenarios for fiscal 2020-21, but no immediate austerity measures at ACC office. No layoffs, wage cuts, etc.
2. Believes ACC& #39;s distributions to member schools for 2019-20 will be about 5% less than projections. That& #39;s less than $2M/school.

                        3. "Everything on the table" for start of college football, including delay until early 2021. But can not compromise player safety.
4. Does not rule out games with minimal/no fans.

                        5. Given ACC partnership with Notre Dame, condensed CFB season would almost have to include some non-conference games.
6. Six weeks the most-discussed ramp-up for CFB.
More to come in story, including best movie Swofford& #39;s seen during home quarantine.

                        Swofford: "There are so many [people] hurting. It really puts life in perspective and our place in it in perspective. But I do think college athletics will be an important part of … coming back together, when the time is appropriate."
