With Jacksonville's three-year run at hosting the game over in December, the ACC has re-opened the bidding process for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. Jacksonville, who has hosted the ACC Championship for the last three years, ends its contract in December.
Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando and Charlotte, N.C., have been sent bid applications to submit a proposal. The Atlantic Coast Conference league office will then analyze the proposals and a final vote will take place by mid-December.
Boston College senior quarterback Matt Ryan has been selected as the Pre-Season ACC Football Player of the Year in voting by media attending the annual ACC Football Kickoff at Pinehurst earlier this week.
Ryan, the 2006 All-ACC quarterback, received 31 votes in the balloting. Virginia Tech junior running back Branden Ore was second, being named on 21 ballots.
The N.C. State football program took a big hit Wednesday when the school disclosed that tight end Anthony Hill, the Wolfpack's leading receiver in 2006, would be lost for the season.
Hill, a second-team All-ACC selection last year, underwent surgery to repair an anterior cruciate ligament on Wednesday.
