ACC meetings: Could league expand conference schedule?

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (WTVD) -- From the White House to the beach -- it's been a whirlwind couple days on the ABC11 sports beat, the best kind of whirlwind.

This is our first time covering the ACC Spring Meetings in Amelia Island -- we came in search of unfettered, not-so-formal-as-normal access to all the Triangle's college sports power players and Tuesday surely delivered.

In just the space of an hour or so, we chatted with Roy Williams, Mark Gottfried, Sylvia Hatchell, Larry Fedora and Dave Doeren. David Cutcliffe and the athletic directors will follow Wednesday. (Mike Krzyzewski and Debbie Yow are not in attendance).

Some notes on each discussion:

ROY WILLIAMS (UNC basketball coach)

Williams will have surgery in the next couple weeks to fix his ailing knees. He's not even attempting to golf here, choosing some time by the pool instead, as evidenced by his stylish seahorse swimsuit. Williams told us he'll head up to the NBA Draft combine to watch and support Justin Jackson later this week.
