When you look at the NFL draft for the ACC it’s very telling. The ACC had the 2nd most NFL picks of any conference with 31. The SEC led the way with a whopping 63. For the ACC though that gives them the 2nd most NFL picks of any conference over the last 3 years, …

Friday a story appeared on CBS Sportsline that the ACC is considering playing game in Europe. My first reaction was WHUT THE? Then I remembered the Pac 12 was bouncing around the idea of playing in China, that Virginia and Oregon had already discussed the possibility of playing a football game Europe, and Notre Dame and …

On Monday we said it was time to give John Swofford his due in securing the ACC’s future. Depending on who you ask either John Swofford pulled the proverbial rabbit out of hat that saved an ACC that was weeks from imploding or the other train of thought, and the one I believed, that nobody was …

The NFL draft is this Thursday and to be honest with the ACC’s landmark GOR deal that I’ve blogged about, I haven’t been able to dig into this much. Thankfully the ACC’s Digital Network @theACCDN has it covered. Off to the right side bar you scan scroll through NFL draft previews for several ACC players …

When the ACC announced it’s 15 new members had signed a Grant of Rights it sent shockwaves through college athletics. Just like that expansion died… ok maybe not, who can predict the future? Let’s just say for the time being it’s been severely stunted to the point we have a real problem on our hands. How do …

Monday it was announced the ACC’s 15 future schools had signed a Grant of Rights. This effectively ends any further discussion of an ACC team leaving for the duration of the ACC’s television contract that runs through 2027. You can find the official announcement at theACC.com. For me as a fan of Georgia Tech and Clemson, …

With only a handful of spring games remaining across the country, I think its time to take a look at an early college football top 25. I can’t believe we are in the neighborhood of 4 months away from the college football season. It seems like an eternity. What’s better to do than some way …

On Friday the ACC released the future Notre Dame and ACC football schedule for the 2014-2016 seasons. Wasn’t it only a few months ago that critics of the partial membership deal said Notre Dame would never agree to such a deal, or that the Irish would create their own schedule? Yea about that… Considering …

Every once in awhile I’ll take a very personal interest in what I’m blogging about. When I saw on Georgia Tech’s official website that the Yellow Jackets were hosting a football clinic for International Students, I said it’s about freaking about time. Let me speak from personal experience, when I was at Georgia Tech, you …

Thanks to @HokieSmash for sending this release. While this is not an earth shattering announcement, it is somewhat significant that the ACC continues to carry live sporting events on the digital network. The Spring games are something that should get reasonable viewership especially from Wake Forest and Boston College fanbases.

Good afternoon. Hope you all are doing well. It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been six years since that fateful day when 32 students were tragically taken from the Virginia Tech community. I still remember where I was that day – I was at work in Washington, DC. We had CNN on at …

Looks like I was a year too early saying Adam Scott could win the Masters. For Australian golf fans who suffered through Greg Norman’s near misses at Augusta, this has been a long time coming for Australia and Adam Scott. Scott has long been considered to have one of the finest swings in golf. Today he …

Most of us knew already that an SEC Network backed by ESPN was coming in the fall of 2014. That was common knowledge. What we didn’t know exactly were the details of the network. Recently there was a release by the SportsBusinessDaily that went into the specifics on the joint venture by the SEC and …
