This year’s ACC-Big 10 Challenge was very revealing about how the ACC is as a basketball conference this year. There have been a mixture of maruqee wins and ugly losses for ACC teams early this season, but I think we have a handle now about where some teams are. The ACC and Big 10 are …

Back in May I wrote that next year the ACC will have the greatest collection of college basketball coaches ever. I don’t think there’s any doubt that statement. With Mike Krzyzewski,, Jim Boeheim, Roy Williams, Rick Pitino all together does it get any better. That’s 9 National Titles, 29 Final 4’s, and over 3200 wins. There’s only one problem …

It is Johnny Manziel one week Jadeveon Clowney the next. Autographs are getting signed by college athletes and likenesses are getting sold. Somebody is making a lot of money. Allegedly some of the athletes are making money too. The NCAA got so freaked out about selling jerseys with a player’s likeness they stopped. Initially I thought, …

Greetings sports fans!!! Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Ed O’Bannon and some other athletes are suing the NCAA for profiting of their likenesses. … and Jay Bilas might have driven a truck through the NCAA’s defense vs. Ed O’Bannon.

Hairston may be jeopardizing his career and life according to ESPN. So what should North Carolina do about P.J. Hairston? Remember don’t think like a rival …

Pretty significant day for the ACC Monday as Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and Syracuse became official members of the ACC. I know some folks are saying what’s the big deal, we knew this was happening for months. It’s never official, until well it’s 100% official. Just ask the Big East, with smart moves to try an …
