We’ve taken a look and given our thoughts on Athlon’s 2022 Preseason All-ACC Team. Now, how about thoughts on the recent release of Phil Steele’s 2022 Preseason All-ACC Team.

While there’s a lot of speculation about the future of college athletics – it’s 2012 all over again, too many folks haven’t considered ESPN may actually want to keep the ACC together. How would they do this? They’d have to increase payouts to the conference, and I think there are several reasons why ESPN may …

The ACC has officially released its new 3-5-5 football scheduling model, and I think it’s one of the ACC’s best moves in years. In 2023, the ACC will adopt a 3-5-5 football scheduling model and all 14 schools will compete in one division. Teams will play 3 primary opponents annually + face the other 10 …
