 Border Wars: The First Fifty Years of Atlantic Coast Conference Football
by K. Adam Powell
In May 1953, seven institutions - Clemson University, Duke University, the University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina, and Wake Forest University - voted to break away from the Southern Conference and form a new league, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Over the decades teams have come and gone, but fifty years later ACC football is still going strong, as chronicled in this definitive history.
From kickoff to touchdown, K. Adam Powell presents an in-depth look at players, games, and memorable moments that have shaped the first half-century of Atlantic Coast Conference football. Border Wars covers all of the important details, including the conference’s founding, its five national championship teams, and even scandals that have rocked programs at Clemson and Florida State. Powell also provides the coaching records and season standings of ACC football teams from 1953 to 2002, making this the ideal reference for ACC fans.
K. Adam Powell is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He contributes articles to ACCSports.com, online partner of the ACC Area Sports Journal.
Border Wars is available through Scarecrow Press, www.scarecrowpress.com.
