Before we begin, let me say I’m not going to try and convince anyone that the money produced from basketball will approach what football can do. That’s simply not going to happen anymore. Football is the top revenue generator in college athletics, and that’s not going to change anytime soon if ever. That said there …

Not a lot of movement this week with the lack of games, but the Duke Blue Devils do move to top of both the AP and Coaches polls after Indiana’s loss. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside …

Conference expansion or contraction or realignment or whatever they are calling it these days took another turn today with the Big East basketball schools splitting from their football counterparts. So for the ACC what should they do? Well I have a something new to the realignment game. The ACC should not expand, they should stand pat. …

Because there will usually be ACC Sunday night basketball games, and we want the results included from those games. Everything clear? OK time …

It’s never too early to begin looking at where your ACC is regards to the NCAA tournament, especially as we near conference play. Already several ACC teams have quality non-conference wins, which is what the committee looks at heavily. I’m expecting this year in the ACC to be as competitive as it’s been in years, and the …

First before talking basketball, let me welcome Louisville to the ACC. I was calling calling for Lousivlle the moment Maryland departed for the Big 10. Is it a game-changer? No… Is it a good fit. Yes, Louisville has made commitment to improved athletics and it shows on the field. I’m not sure you can say that about every …

With the ACC\Big 10 challenge starting Tuesday, it’s the official transition from football season to basketball for me. That said in the early part of the season there’s one team that’s already put together a resume that most number 1 seeds would be happy to have by season’s end, that’s the Duke Blue Devils. Now …

Not good a past week for the ACC by any measure…. Maryland is leaving the ACC, the conference was whacked on the field by the SEC, and ACC Championship game tickets are going for less than lunch at McDonalds. Honestly though I don’t know how anyone can drum up much interest for a 6-6 Georgia …

Remember when we spent all summer pouring over TV contracts, football programs won/loss records, bowl games and playoff scenarios? These were the factors driving conference expansion. Well throw it out the window. In one crazy weekend that might land Maryland in a new conference, the Big 10 may have changed the model for expansion. Forget …

The College Basketball season started Friday. There are no moral victories but Maryland taking Kentucky down to the wire has to be encouraging to Terp fans. Not so much for Florida State who lost at home to South Alabama. Virginia without Mike Scott looks like a lower division ACC team after losing to George Mason. …
