For some off-season football reading, we already looked at the ACC’s 5 best Out of Conference wins of the 2020s. Unfortunately, that was an unimpressive list, especially with the lack of OOC games in the first year of the decade. 2021 was better, but there were still too many cringe-worthy losses. The narrative doesn’t just get …

It is hard to criticize a player that transfers for the NIL money. It’s an opportunity that wasn’t there before for college athletes and so more power to them to take advantage. When an athlete does stay loyal to the school that developed him it’s kind of a comforting story. Boston College’s Zay Flowers is …

For some off-season football reading, we want to look at the ACC’s 5 best Out of Conference wins of the 2020s. Unfortunately, this is still a pretty unimpressive list for the ACC. At least we were able to fill out 5 noteworthy if not truly great wins OOC wins. After last season we couldn’t even …

It’s May which means we can start prepping for the College Football season. Spring practice is over so the transfer market should be set. Let’s start by taking a look at a couple Post-Spring Top 25 rankings. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-rankings-alabama-ohio-state-lead-post-spring-top-25-ahead-of-2022-season/ https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-football-top-25-rankings-247Sports-post-spring-poll-for-2022-186765894/#186765894_1 There’s a lot of variation between the two post-spring polls which means things are pretty wide …

As we move towards the end of the College Baseball, who is going to be a regional host? Let’s look at the contenders. RPIs are taken from https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2022/rpi-live #5 Virginia Tech 31-10 (14-8) The Hokies are in great shape. Anything above .500 the rest of the way and they will host.

It wasn’t a good NFL Draft for the ACC. There is no sugar coating it.

Is it too early to start looking NCAA Baseball and Softball Projections? I don’t think so. As we start to turn the corner from college basketball to college baseball and softball, the ACC looks to be well represented. Projections are already being released so let’s take a look.

So I get on twitter Friday and see that Pittsburgh WR star Jordan Addison is possibly transferring to USC. Jordan Addison is going to be quite a test case for what an athlete could command via NIL as a transfer. Not in the portal yet, but there will be many, many schools making a call …

Interesting article from ACCPrescription on how the WBB tournament is severely underpaid. Sports like baseball, softball, and women’s basketball need to be negotiated as separate events. The NCAA as usual botched this one. Clemson blog RubbingtheRock says the transfer portal hurts more than it helps. BackingthePack says NC State has a NIL Collective on the …

ESPN Reporter @ADavidHaleJoint does a solid of putting the ACC QBs into tiers. Do you agree with them? I’d swap Taylor Van Dyke and Sam Hartman. I like Van Dyke a lot, but he’s only played 2 months and Sam Hartman was 2nd All-ACC and the Gator Bowl MVP. You could argue Brennan Armstrong into …
