When Duke’s Grayson Allen hit the game winning shot to beat Virginia, I initially thought what a great play with no whistles. Then I watched the replay.

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.

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?
