The Name, Image and Likeness one-year anniversary is upon us. It was July 1 last year when the NCAA threw in the towel on holding back against public sentiment, state legislatures and looming court rulings permitting college athletes to cash in. NIL’s impact continues to evolve rapidly entering year two, but looking back, North Carolina …

In the last few months, we’ve done Hotseat rankings for football and Hotseat rankings for men’s basketball. What we haven’t done is combine the two biggest revenue sports in the ACC. Here is why this is important, if you have these 2 sports struggling, you are likely going to be making a decision. There are …

Did you know the NBA Mock Draft is only a couple of weeks? June 23, 2022 is the date for the draft. Plenty of Duke players on the list, and for my money if I’m choosing Jabari Smith of Auburn and Paolo Banchero of Duke I’m taking Banchero. I know what I saw when I …

We did Way Too Early College Basketball rankings back in April, but since then Wednesday was the deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA Draft so some rankings have changed. CBSSports, 247, and NCAA just updated their rankings, while ESPN is just a couple of days old. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-gonzaga-gets-good-news-ucla-drops-in-top-25-and-1-after-nba-draft-deadline/ https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-basketball-rankings-247Sports-updates-Top-25-for-2022-23-188232875/#188232875_3 https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2022-06-02/college-basketball-rankings-drew-timmes-return-sees-gonzaga-rise-andy-katzs https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/page/earlytop25053122/gonzaga-bulldogs-villanova-wildcats-way-too-early-top-25-men-college-basketball-rankings-2022-23 Make sure you …

Just a quick post for this evening, but if you are a North Carolina basketball fan then the news just keeps getting better.

The season just ended with Kansas crowned the national champions, and we might as well look at next season. This is likely to change significantly with the transfer portal, but it’s still worth it to look at some way too early top 25 rankings. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/page/earlytop25040422/arkansas-razorbacks-no-1-way-too-early-top-25-college-basketball-rankings-2022-23 https://www.si.com/college/2022/04/05/ncaa-basketball-rankings-early-top-25-arkansas-kentucky https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-2022-23-kentucky-ucla-top-25/ux3bcoa9s0k7bx8772mosjhq https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/college-basketballs-way-too-early-131923172.html?src=rss https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2022-04-08/college-basketball-rankings-arizona-arkansas-top-preseason-power-36-2022-23 Make sure you follow the All …

Any thoughts that Mike Krzyzewski would pull a Tom Brady and reverse his retirement decision during the season were scoffed at for good reason. They’d still be dismissed as ludicrous if such a claim came from anybody but Williams, whose credentials are former Duke basketball player and respected media personality with his various ESPN platforms. …

North Carolina is college basketball royalty. There’s no question about that, but there is always the debate of who is college basketball’s current top program? Is it Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, or UNC? How about a new recent entry like Villanova, Baylor, Virginia, or Gonzaga? Let’s make this easy, it is what you do in March …

North Carolina did it. They slayed their arch-rival Duke 81-77 in the Final Four. The Tar Heels are now headed to the National Championship to play a red-hot Kansas team. It’s been a remarkable run for the Tar Heels, and we’ll talk more about the Title game Sunday and Monday, but for now, let’s think …

The Louisville women’s basketball team made a tremendous run to the Final Four, but it came to an end to against Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks.

The esteemed ACC media member @ByDavidTeel (David Teel) has weighed in on the ACC’s March success this year, and it is a very good read. It’s March, and it’s college basketball. That means the ACC should not be dismissed… ever. Fast forward to the current bracket, light on ACC teams to start but heavy when …

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a college football or college basketball game with more on the line in terms of bragging rights than this week’s Duke vs North Carolina Final Four game after playing earlier in the season. Maybe the 1996 College Football National Title game? When Florida beat Florida State 52-20 after Florida …
