Interview with ACC Commissioner John Swofford

Posted Sep 16, 2015
John Swofford: "(I) ended up going to North Carolina and started as a quarterback as a sophomore, but missed about four games with injuries. I started the first five games of my junior year at quarterback and threw one too many interceptions and in a week I was a defensive back. Then I finished my career playing as a defensive back, and spent my senior year playing less than I had ever played." (Football Matters)
