Jim Young is outta here!
Jim Young, who has covered sports for us since 1999, is going to become editor of ACCSports.com, the companion Web site to the ACC Sports Journal. (Don't bother going there now. It's under construction.) "Jim will provide daily analysis and commentary and learn first-hand what a challenge it can be to work with writers," wrote his editor, Joe Sirera.
Jim is a winner of state press association and national sportswriting awards, and is a regular SportsExtra contributor. As Joe wrote in his announcement to the staff about Jim, "His intelligence, humor and uncanny ability to quote lines from any 'Seinfield' episode will be missed."
