A prevailing school of thought within ACC circles is that ESPN will not only extend the media rights deal but also increase the current deal. We’ll see.

The Big 10 and SEC continue to try and relegate the rest of the college athletics world into irrelevance. Their TV contracts are the biggest. They’ll get the biggest payouts from the College Football Playoff, and gradually they are gobbling up the biggest brands. What can you say? To the winner go the spoils. We’re …

I felt like Brad Brownell was a lock to return as Clemson basketball head coach if he made the NCAA tournament. Others weren’t so sure and said he needed a NCAA tournament run.

NC State’s magical Final Four run finally ended in a 63-50 loss to Purdue. While NC State defensively kept Zach Edey reasonably in check, they left so many points out there on missed mid-range jumpers, 3 pt shots, you get the idea. It wasn’t meant to be for the Wolfpack. The season ended with an …

Good evening. I’m in Montreal now – but something clicked last night when I was tweeting with @TalkinACCSports.
