Their is more talk of new ACC distribution of money

Getting more TV money is not about winning. It is about drawing fans to TV sets. The ACC weakness is that the league has too few schools, vis a vis the SEC and BT, that truly draw fans to watch. Wake and BC could meet in the ACC Championship, both 12-0, and that game would have trouble drawing anything like the number of fans that would watch the SEC Championship, no matter which 2-loss teams are in it. 10-2 UGA or 10-2 UF vs. 10-2 OU or 10-2 A&M is always going to have a MUCH larger TV audience than 12-0 Wake vs. 12-0 BC.

State flagship and/or Land Grant schools have major built-in advantages in drawing fans. Private schools (with a couple of exceptions) have built-in disadvantages in drawing fans. The ACC has far too few of the former and too many of the latter. The SEC and BT are built almost exclusively upon flagships and land grants.

Do enough ACC power brokers finally grasp that football is at least 4 times bigger than basketball? If so, then they should recognize now also what I've said above. And any new distribution method must accept those facts and aim to maximize the long term value of the conference, which can never come through Wake or BC, Pitt or Syracuse, or even GT - which is State but is neither flagship nor land grant (UGA is both).

RBs

I assume everybody sees Hood as the starter the rest of year (assuming no injuries) and perhaps a star in 2023. But what about the rest off the RB room? Elijah Green looked very good last night, and he's just a Sophomore. Frosh Hampton has shown good power and is still learning. Frosh Pettaway has shown breakaway ability. DJ Jones is a Junior, and while he is a not a potential star in the making, he is a competent reserve RB.

Brooks is coming back for 2023, but if all the other RBs return, I expect that Brooks may see virtually no snaps on Offense - he is a proven top special teams player.

When you have a QB like Maye and the kind of receivers we have, you know that DCs must focus on stopping the passing game. And that means that your RBs can shine precisely because they are not the main focus of opposing Ds.

From what I have seen this year, I think both Hood and Hampton can make an NFL roster.

Kennedy Meeks starting a Rap Career!

Article

Everybody has a favorite Meeks memory especially during the run to the Natty! He is an ambassador for UNC and a great person to represent us world wide! I hope he continues to grow his bball career and I hope his music career takes off. Check out this quote in response to whether peeps recognize him for his pivotal plays at UNC:

“Every day,” Meeks says, his eyes widening, as if he can’t quite believe the words coming out of his mouth. “Every single day. Literally. There’s Carolina fans everywhere. I think we definitely have one of the biggest fan bases out of any school. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. For people to know who I am for doing something that I invested so much of my time for, it’s very rewarding.”

That is a great endorsement of the Family!
