The show is hosted by former ACC student-athletes and current ACCN personalities Katie George and EJ Manuel.
This class of outstanding scholar-athletes will be the first to receive the newly-named Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Postgraduate Scholarship as former Commissioner John Swofford's name has been added to the award. During Swofford's 24 years as the league's Commissioner, the ACC won 92 national team titles in 19 of the league's 27 sponsored sports, and the league continued to set the standard academically by leading all conferences in nearly every comparison.
"No Limit" brings together the best and brightest student-athletes from all 15 schools and includes interviews about their passion for ACC athletics, academics and current issues.
"We are incredibly proud of these student-athletes for what they've accomplished in the classroom, on the playing field and in their communities," said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. "They've shown the dedication, leadership and passion to succeed in all areas and are an inspiration to the younger generation. This particular recognition is named after the previous ACC Commissioners, and today, I'm pleased to announce that John Swofford's name will be added to the postgraduate scholarship award. John was the longest tenured Commissioner in league history and helped elevate this conference to a new standard."
This year's class includes three student-athletes who will also receive the Thacker Award and nine student-athletes who plan to pursue professional careers in their chosen sports and were named honorary recipients.
The Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford and Jim and Pat Thacker postgraduate scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient will receive $6,000 toward his or her graduate education. Those honored have performed with distinction in both the classroom and their respective sport, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.

About the Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Award
The Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Award is named in honor of Jim Weaver, Bob James, Gene Corrigan and John Swofford, the first four ACC commissioners. The league's first commissioner, James H. Weaver, served the conference from 1954-70 after a stint as the Director of Athletics at Wake Forest. His early leadership and uncompromising integrity are largely responsible for the excellent reputation enjoyed by the ACC today.
Robert C. James, a former Maryland football player, was named commissioner in 1971 and served in that capacity for 16 years. During his tenure, the league continued to grow in stature and became recognized as a national leader in athletics and academics, winning 23 national championships and maintaining standards of excellence in the classroom.
Eugene F. Corrigan assumed his role as the third full-time commissioner on September 1, 1987 and served until August of 1997. During Corrigan's tenure, ACC schools captured 30 NCAA championships and two national football titles.
John Swofford, the longest-tenured commissioner in the 67-year history of the ACC, started in 1997 and served 24 years before retiring in February 2021. Swofford guided the league to unprecedented stability, success and growth as the league expanded from nine to 15 members. 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.
