Remember a few weeks ago when I said the ACC was losing the PR battle? My how recent weeks have changed perception. Today’s announcement that the ACC and the Orange Bowl are exclusively tied together as one of the Big 6 bowls was universially hailed as a strong move the ACC, and I agree.

Rather than simply post my thoughts on the partnership, I’m going to link some articles I saw today from around the internet on the subject.
