Secure the services of current Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark and allow Phillips to return to Chicago. Yormark took over a Big 12 that many people openly assumed was about to die, and look what he has accomplished against all odds. He is a real fighter. he seems nits to me in even considering UConn, but other than that, everything he has done has worked to set up the Big 12 as well as it could have been saved. That same big vision working for the ACC might be able to save things.

Jim Phillips has been named as a defendant in a new lawsuit that stems from Northwestern’s ongoing hazing scandal. That’s per ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, who says the player filing the lawsuit was a member of Northwestern’s program from 2018-2022. Phillips has been the ACC’s commissioner since 2021, but prior to that he served as Northwestern’s AD. (Saturday Road)

I saw a pic with a few players with no shirt on...let's just say that I would not be embarrassed to be on the same beach with my Dad bod. Lol

Some of us have talked about strength and conditioning here. Is the intent for guys to look more fit than cut? A few guys look kind of soft (linemen mostly never take their shirt off unless you're Myles Garrett)..I'm not seeing guys hitting their targeted numbers. I would expect to see a few more Amari Gainers by now.

With the ACC Kickoff next week and practice starting in two weeks, now is a good time to take your questions about the Tar Heels.

So go ahead and ask away here in this thread.

Thank you.

The ACC Kickoff is underway. It has moved to three days, but I won't be there until Thursday because UNC won't be on the stage and available until then.

I will still post some stuff over the next two days, and then a lot more Thursday. Commissioner Jim Phillips just finished his press conference, so I will get that posted to the front page and link in here as well once the transcript is available.

BREAKING: LeBron James’ 18 year old son Bronny James suffered cardiac arrest during a practice at USC and was rushed to the hospital where he spent time in the ICU. “(Monday) while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” the James family said in a statement. The family says Bronny is now in stable condition. “Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information.” Praying for the James family

I know it is insanely hot in places around the world, but does anyone else think weather overall has been pretty great in NC the last few yrs?

I know NC is hotter overall too, the yearly avg as a whole has been a little warmer and winter a tiny bit shorter, but the spring and fall season have been AMAZING weather-wise. And the kicker is that the number of 100 degree days in Raleigh hasn't been that many. It's hot, but we're not getting crushed like UK, Canada, western US, etc.

If that happens, it provides another opening for the ACC to persuade the Pac to drop its other dead weight (Wazzou and Oregon St) and merge with the ACC. We can use the extra money from the spread of the ACCN.
