It’s back! The articles around the ACC Blogosphere. ACCPerscription talks about UNC revenue for the fiscal year 2021-2022. UNC went from $37 Million to $43 Million.

The ACC finished 5th by among the Power 5 conference by any measure. It was the culmination of some lean football seasons, that we …

While this is an ACC blog, it doesn’t mean we don’t pay attention to actual realignment news across the country. Anything that happens or potentially could happen may affect the ACC and that’s why it matters. Notice I said “actual realignment news” and not the latest non-sense Twitter rumor. In recent weeks we’ve seen a …
