#UVA, NC State & ACC frame this as an Athlete Advantage gaffe. If that sticks, each school due $1.5M cancellation fee, per NCSU contract obtained by @murphsturph

[David Teel @ByDavidTeel]

Instead of playing the first college football game in South America, #UVA and NC State this season will play the 519th at Scott Stadium. Whether Week 0 or Week 1, TBA.

"The university has made a commitment, which has been really important and significant and is a big reason why (I’m) here. But, there’s a difference between being competitive in the ACC and trying to win at the very, very highest level. And there’s still a gap.”

“Jamie Newman, John Wolford and Sam Hartman were all very different… The small tweaks to the offense (Warren) made to fit the quarterbacks and the skillset, those were little subtleties that I don’t know if outside people really noticed.”
