Interview – Matthew Reviews and Previews ACC Football

Our old friend Matthew from All Sports Discussion stopped by to recap the 2023 ACC football season and give his thoughts on the upcoming season. During our 50 plus minute talk, we cover the disappointments of 2023 (beyond The Snub, we mention UNC and Miami), the bright side of last season (looking at you, Virginia Tech) and what to expect from our beloved conference this year. While the Hoos could be looking at hiring a new coach if things don’t go well in Charlottesville, the Hokies look primed to be this year’s Louisville as a result of winning the schedule lottery. All things considered, this could be a fun year for The ACC (while it still exists).

Oh, and we talk Conference Restructuring for a little bit because of course we did. Also, my audio was a little off. I got a new set of headphones and apparently didn’t select the input properly. It happens.

Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode.

Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Mastodon, on Reddit, on Post, on Instagram, Spoutible, Bluesky or on Twitter.

As always, Go Duke!

More on The ACC’s Lawsuits

My friends over at Saturday’s Warrior asked me to stop by and talk about FSU-Clemson-The ACC, which is what I call the unholy triangle of sadness. Take a look at my interview with Trevor. I hope you’ll learn something. Or at least be mildly entertained by the Blues Brothers reference. The bar is kind of low at this point.

This was another appearance on a podcast that is part of The College Huddle Network. This has been a lot of fun and reminded me that I’m due for another post on the site about the litigation that is still ongoing.

As always, Go Duke!

College Huddle Appearance – ACC, FSU and Conference Restructuring

I stopped by The College Huddle with my friends from The Cavalier Connection to talk about the uncertainties facing The ACC. Give it a listen / watch, folks! Thanks to The College Huddle and to The Cavalier Connection for having me on. This was a lot of fun.

As you all now, Bull City Coordinators is now part of The College Huddle network. This is a fan-led college sports podcast community. We look forward to future collaborations with members of The College Huddle and to continuing to (hopefully) inform our fans!

As always, Go Duke!

Interview – Luke DeCock

Listen here.

News & Observer columnist Luke DeCock stopped by the pod to talk about the problems facing The ACC. Looking at you, former Big East teams and FSU. We also discuss the “legally interesting” (which is a kind way of saying “dubious”) lawsuit filed by FSU against The ACC. Having read FSU’s most recent Complaint, I don’t think very highly of it. I had initially planned on doing a more detailed discussion of it, but that would be a waste of time. Which is pretty much what that lawsuit looks like to me. But I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again.

Luke also discussed the future of The ACC and how we got into this mess. This involves a hopefully interesting discussion about the pros and cons of Notre Dame’s involvement with the conference. We also both comment on how we don’t see an exit strategy for FSU. If another conference wanted the Noles, the TV overlords would’ve moved the school by now. Also, and this should be obvious, the TV partners running college football want a strong Grant of Rights. They don’t want GoRs to be found unenforceable. The TV deals just won’t work if member schools can invalidate them. Just sayin’!
