Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. We rarely talk about the National Hockey League (NHL) Stanley Cup Playoffs on this site – but I was talking to @TalkinACCSports (my friend, Jeffrey Fann, pretty much gives me free rein on whatever I want to blog about) – and in this case, I think …

What were the sports betting odds prior to today’s stunning announcement that NC State would not be part of the NCAA Baseball field? In my mind the chances were so remote they would be left out of the field, that I didn’t even consider the possibility that it could happen. By my count, the Wolfpack …

Well here are your 16 Regional Hosts. From an ACC perspective, no real surprise other than Miami hosting and Notre Dame was not. Miami was 4-6 down the stretch and had the #15 RPI. While the Irish had a #13 RPI. Both had 14 Q1 wins. I suppose Miami got the lean because of the …

Monte Lee has been at Clemson for 7 years. If you throw out the COVID 2020 year, that is still 6 years he’s never led Clemson to a super regional. What’s worse is Lee is not even getting Clemson to the NCAA Tournament anymore. In 2021 Clemson missed the NCAA tournament with a 25-27 record …

RPIs were pulled from WarranNolan.com Before the ACC Tournament, the conference was looking at as many as 11 ACC teams possibly reaching the NCAA Tournament.

Here is the ACC Baseball Tournament schedule. This tournament could feature as many as 11 teams that end up in the NCAA Tournament. There will be at least 9 for sure.

Since are no rules to NIL, and it’s a chaotic free for all, it’s time for the ACC to think outside box to the benefit of its members. Why can’t the ACC form conference-wide NIL agreements and how could this work? The ACC has corporate sponsorship deals for events and product advertisements for ACC Network. …

We wondered how the 2020 COVID year would affect Power 5 revenues. Now we know the answer. The ACC and SEC’s decision to play nearly full football season resulted in revenue increases for those conferences via this article from USAToday. From that piece…. The ACC also ended up joining the SEC as the only …
