The ACC has a new multiyear deal with ReliaQuest, making the Tampa-based company the official cybersecurity sponsor of the conference. The multiyear deal was struck in conjunction with Disney Advertising and ESPN, and as part of the pact, both sides are committing to help raise awareness of cybersecurity and cybersecurity careers through ReliaQuest’s proven cyber labs program.
The deal covers each of the ACC’s 28 sponsored sports and will begin in the fall. The ACC has now doubled its portfolio of corporate sponsors over the past five years.
ReliaQuest has been involved in college football through a bowl game sponsorship in its home market since 2022 (the former Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium, which pits Big Ten and SEC teams). ReliaQuest founder and CEO Brian Murphy is a Florida State alum and member of the FSU BOT. The company also has a sponsorship deal with the PGA Tour.
