Last September, Fox reportedly offered a $60 million a year deal for the …

We have some major shifting in this week’s bubble analysis. This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win …

Sometimes even really smart people make mistakes. The Louisville administration made one Friday. Gary Parrish of CBSSportsline nails it in his article Louisville selfishly punishes seniors by self-imposing late postseason ban. From that article… Any postseason ban, I think, should always be for the subsequent season once a semester begins, that way goals and dreams …

One thing like I about the Louisville Athletic’s Department is that it is obviously well run by their AD Tom Jurich. The Cardinal’s recent announcement of their fundraising effort for their stadium expansion is just another example of this. I think the emphasis on corporate sponsors is a smart move by Louisville as well. …

Here’s a sobering thought if you’re an ACC football team not named Florida State or Clemson, no matter how good you think your recruiting class was theirs was better, a lot better. The ACC had 9 top 100 Scout.Com players. They all went to Florida State or Clemson. There were 4 Five Star players for …

This weekend the Big 12 / SEC have scheduled their basketball challenge between each other. The fine college athletics site theStudentSection says the Big 12/SEC challenge freshens the season, and offers the possibility of change. Should the ACC adopt this scheduling practice? Maybe they should move the ACC/Big 10 challenge or take the double header …

Recently we went over what we liked about the ACC’s football schedule. It’s time to turn page, because it wasn’t all good. We have 5 big complaints about the 2016 football schedule. So here we go. 1) The week before the ACC/SEC Rivalry Games. While the ACC has dominated the SEC 7-1 the last two …
