Colorado chancellor speaks on Pac 12 media deal via @USAToday
While this is an ACC blog, it doesn’t mean we don’t pay attention to actual realignment news across the country. Anything that happens or potentially could happen may affect the ACC and that’s why it matters. Notice I said “actual realignment news” and not the latest non-sense Twitter rumor.
