With NIL making endorsements possible, CBSSports listed their football legends who would have cashed in if this rule change had been made years ago. What ACC Legends would have made this list?

Team equipment managers hear the juiciest gossip. As the locker room empties, they quietly go about their business, unintentionally a chameleon blended into the walls. Others forget they’re within earshot. Marty Daly was one of those guys at Michigan State. Daly was the Spartans’ assistant equipment manager from the 1965 to 1972, a time that …

Yikes – college baseball fans have spoken. An farce of a CWS Championship has resulted in fans tuning out. Just as a comparison, GM1 of this @NCAACWS had 385K viewers. GM1 of the 2018 CWS between Arkansas-Oregon State drew 1.81M viewers. https://t.co/w6s6XIjFp9 — Kendall Rogers (@KendallRogers) June 29, 2021 For comparison the WCWS championship drew …

You know the story by now – NC State due to COVID protocols has been removed from the CWS one game from the National Title Series. SaturdayDownSouth does an …

During the CWS we’re going to post NC State and Virginia fanbases reactions to their games. In a bizarre Friday game, NC State fielded only 13 eligible players due to COVID protocols, and nearly knocked off defending baseball champion Vanderbilt in a 3-1 loss. . How did NC State twitter react? This team doesn’t want …
