Why ACC Football doesn’t get respect.
Back in 2016 ACC football had a magical year across the board. It was the best football conference in the land. We asked on the blog could the ACC remain at the top of college football? The sky was the limit for where ACC could go. Since then the conference has largely face-planted. Check out …

More than half of ACC is in top 40 of 2023 football recruiting.
Last week we wrote about Clemson getting red-hot on the recruiting trail. You thought Dabo Swinney was going to let Tiger recruiting slip after a few coaches departed. Clemson is a national brand now. Clemson isn’t the only ACC team off to a strong summer of recruiting. Louisville is tearing it up too landing arguably the …

Free-enterprise irony: All-American commitments left out of the NIL era
Army football coach Jeff Monken appeared on a Zoom call not long ago to talk about the Black Knights’ spring game, so I jumped on it. As usual, he offered interesting insight on some players developing into productive Division I talent. One of the players mentioned was tight end Joshua Lingenfelter, a 6-foot-3, 240-pounder positioned …

Hubert Davis was ready for the NIL era from his NBA days
The Name, Image and Likeness one-year anniversary is upon us. It was July 1 last year when the NCAA threw in the towel on holding back against public sentiment, state legislatures and looming court rulings permitting college athletes to cash in. NIL’s impact continues to evolve rapidly entering year two, but looking back, North Carolina …

Five times Notre Dame actually felt like full members of the ACC.

So you thought Clemson football recruiting would slip….
Just a quick post for tonight. There was buzz from critics that Dabo Swinney wouldn’t be able to recruit as well at Clemson. The transfer portal and NIL would put Clemson behind the curve. Yea about that… By either recruiting service Rivals rankings or the 247 Rankings, Clemson has a top 6 class. This after …

The SEC’s best don’t often lose, but when they do it is to teams from the ACC.
Way back in 2013, we wrote an article that is true now as it is now. Other conferences need to stop complaining about SEC football dominance and do something about it. The point remains true in any sport, if you are tired of hearing about the SEC, then you have to beat them on the …
