The ACC Kickoff ran in Charlotte Jul 15, 2026 to Jul 17, 2026, and a jet owned by a documented Clemson booster made the trip. ACC Kickoff is the conference's preseason football media event in Charlotte.

The Cessna Citation Excel, registered to Hillabrand Heir LLC, departed Charlotte, NC at 17:59 ET on Jul 16, 2026 and landed at Clemson, SC at 18:23 ET.

The aircraft is registered to Hillabrand Heir LLC, not the school — its tie to Clemson rests on documented prior travel with the program. The flight record does not say who was aboard, and the event dates are the only link between this trip and the meeting itself.
