ACC Implementing Injury Reports for Upcoming Season
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 22 – The ACC will fine schools $50,000 to $200,000 for storming before visiting teams exit, with penalties funding scholarships and new security reviews mandated to enhance player safety.
- The Atlantic Coast Conference announced it will implement mandatory injury reports and fines for field and court storming starting in the 2025-26 season.
- This decision follows similar policies by the Big Ten and SEC and addresses growing concerns about protecting student-athletes from information pressure related to sports betting.
- Football availability reports will be due two days before games, with updates one day prior and two hours before kickoff, while basketball and baseball reports will be due one day before and updated two hours before games.
- Fines for premature field or court storming start at $50,000 for the first violation, doubling for subsequent offenses, with penalties funding the ACC postgraduate scholarship fund.
- The ACC expects these changes will alleviate pressure on players and staff and modernize the conference’s approach to athlete protection amid rising sports wagering activity.
