"Chapters" offers personal reflections of Swofford's career, beginning with his days as a high school football star in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and continuing through his unprecedented 24-year run as ACC Commissioner. Produced in black and white, the documentary provides a unique perspective on Swofford's time as a University of North Carolina quarterback under first-year head coach Bill Dooley; his first job at Virginia under athletic director and former league commissioner Gene Corrigan; his tenure as North Carolina's athletic director; and the important impact of his family on his career.
The documentary includes interviews with Swofford at locations across North Carolina, including North Wilkesboro, Chapel Hill, his home in Greensboro and the conference office. "Chapters" contains exclusive video of Swofford at work and at home with his family, as well as extensive archival footage and photos from his career.
The longest-tenured commissioner in the 68-year history of the ACC, Swofford retired in January 2021. As the fourth commissioner of the ACC, Swofford guided the league to unprecedented stability, success and growth, expanding from nine to 15 members beginning with Miami and Virginia Tech in 2004, quickly followed by Boston College and later joined by Pitt, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Louisville.
Today's ACC spans the entire eastern seaboard, giving it the largest geographical footprint and population among all Autonomy 5 conferences. Expansion allowed the league to secure its future through the grant of media rights, creation of the ACC Football Championship Game, an invaluable partnership with the Orange Bowl, and joining with ESPN in August 2019 to establish the ACC Network, which provides fans exceptional access to live events via a comprehensive, multi-platform network.
