Teel did a great job asking Swofford questions that many of us interested in the business side of the conference wanted to know about. Swofford will tend to keep things close to the vest, hence his nickname the “Ninja” …

Wednesday night continued one of the most bizarre streaks in college sports. When Vanderbilt defeated Virginia in Game 3 of their series, the ACC’s streak of 59 straight years without a NCAA baseball title continued. Frankly this is an astonishing streak, considering the quality of baseball played in the ACC. That would be more than …

This will be a short post for tonight, because there’s only one story at the moment in the ACC. That is the Virginia Cavaliers. The Hoos are looking to make some history on a couple of fronts. First and foremost, Virginia would win their first college baseball title, and it would arguably be the biggest …

On July 1, 2014, the Louisville Cardinals will officially join the ACC. At the same time Maryland will pack up and head to the Big 10. It seems for the most part Big 10 fans are lukewarm to the idea of Maryland and Rutgers joining their conference. In contrast ACC fans appear to be really …

It’s apparent the ACC has some work to do to in this particular category. They trail the other Power 5 conference by a large margin. What is it you ask? Is it that revenue thing again? Nope. It’s in national titles the last few years right? Nope. Well what is it then? Ok I pulled …

Remember when I said, the ACC was a little thin at Quarterback this year? Well one position the ACC has a ton of depth at is Wide Receiver. What a talented group here, and I’ve left off some really ones. Now they just need someone to throw it to them. Previous and Upcoming Rankings Quarterbacks | …
