Virtual reality entertainment continues to rise in 2016. The ACC Digital Network decided to have some fun of its own with the trend by setting up a virtual reality room at its football kickoff event in Charlotte on Thursday.
Players and coaches from Coastal Division teams played Fruit Ninja on the VR headsets and the results were hilarious:
