Annual South Carolina Clemson Game Expected To Be Cancelled

The ACC announced a plan to play conference only schedule Thursday, which puts the annual South Carolina vs. Clemson game in jeopardy.

The ACC is reportedly planning on moving to a conference-only schedule, which means the South Gamecocks would not face their in-state rival for the first time in over 100 years. 

ACC football also expected to play conference-only games, sources told @Stadium. Last month, ACC commish John Swofford told @Stadium if Power 5 schools played conference-only schedules that ACC would assist Notre Dame with as many games as it needed

There are four ACC-SEC matchups that happen annually; Georgia-Georgia Tech, FSU-Florida, South Carolina-Clemson and Kentucky-Louisville. With the announcement of conference-only play for the ACC, it appears all four rivalry games will be cancelled, though the SEC has not announced any restrictions. 

The announcement comes a day after the Ivy League announced it was cancelling all fall sports. 

Here's a look at the series history between the University of South Carolina and Clemson:
