North Carolina's midweek games ahead of the rivalry with Duke have been an adventure under head coach Hubert Davis. Syracuse looks to play the role of spoiler this year as the Orange visit the Smith Center on Monday night. Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley preview the ACC matchup with an eye toward the struggles of 'Cuse and the task UNC faces in playing well and winning big against a team that the Heels should handle.

It's not easy doing a daily podcast about Pitt basketball these days after the Panthers fell to 9-13 overall and 2-7 in the ACC with Saturday's 11-point loss at Clemson. On today's Morning Pitt, we're talking about some of Pitt's biggest issues - and why it's so hard to talk about a team that loses like these Panthers do.

Swanny unpacks why college football feels stuck in slow-motion chaos, using Dabo Swinney's blunt takedown of Ole Miss' alleged tampering as the latest proof that the sport is sinking without real rules or consequences. As more voices and examples surface—from Fresno State to player-led accounts of in-season contact—the show explores how agents, unchecked transfers, and NIL money are dragging the game deeper into the muck.Plus, a look at Clemson basketball rolling near the top of the ACC, insight from William Qualkinbush and Jason Priester on hoops and recruiting, and why the longer this goes unaddressed, the harder it may be for college football to pull itself out.Text/Call the show: 803-450-0086Website: ClemsonSportsTalk.com

On today's Clemson Sports Talk, Swanny breaks down the Luke Ferrelli/Ole Miss tampering controversy and why Dabo Swinney's message to fellow coaches hit so hard: “Step up and call it out… or shut your mouth.” If there are no consequences for coaches, programs, or agents, what stops college football from turning into total lawlessness?Swanny also dives into Dabo's proposed fixes for the sport — starting with the calendar — and what real accountability could look like if the NCAA won't act. Plus: a “good of the day” moment as Clemson women's basketball pulls off an emotional birthday surprise, a quick look at Clemson hoops and the ACC road streak, and a wild note on Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer.Text/Call the show: 803-450-0086Website: ClemsonSportsTalk.com

College football doesn't really end anymore.The clock hits :00. The trophy gets handed out. And almost immediately, the sport gets loud again. Portal moves, litigation, coaching changes, CFP debates and more. Oh, and by the way, we've also got a Super Bowl coming up with Seattle vs. New England. (Hello Elite 11 finalists Sam Darnold and Drake Maye)With everything seemingly happening all at once in football, there's a race to be first instead of thoughtful.It's the same in the content world. Instant reaction shows. Social posts fired off before the dust settles. Takes delivered as fast as possible.That's not how we do it at Y-Option.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After the Hoosiers hoisted their hardware, we took a pause. And today, we took a detailed look back at the season that was in 2025.Today's episode of Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor 76® — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is with Jim Thornby. For nearly two hours, we just talked. No timer. No rush. Multiple cups of coffee. Dozens of teams. Real perspective.One hundred and five minutes later, the result was less of a “podcast” and more of a conversation. And as we talked, one thing became clear:* The biggest change in college football isn't happening at the top. It's happening in the middle.The 12-team Playoff didn't just give more teams access, it changed the psychology of the sport. Suddenly, programs sitting fourth, fifth or sixth in their conference are making million-dollar decisions with almost no margin for error.Quarterbacks cost more. Mistakes cost more. One Saturday can swing an entire donor base's belief.We talk about why that reality is both exciting and dangerous and why the sport still hasn't figured out how to handle what comes after the final whistle.We went league by league—not to rank them, but to understand them.The Big Ten's rise isn't accidental, it's legit and not going anywhere but up. The SEC isn't broken, but it's no longer bulletproof. The ACC looked chaotic… until Miami made a run that forced everyone to re-think the narrative. And the Big 12? Still searching for the moment that changes how the country sees it.Context matters. And it's usually the first thing lost online.We also spent time on the Pac-12, a place that impacted both of us deeply, as it steps into a new reality.Looking back was a reminder that Oregon State and Washington State found ways to survive, even when the odds were stacked against them. And now, under the leadership of Commissioner Teresa Gould, they're building something with substance: proven head coaches, programs with real momentum, and a league that still has a path to the CFP.That's why we made this episode. To celebrate the game and coach the viewer.We know it's “too long” according to the experts and the algorithms. But Y-Option wasn't created to win an algorithm. It was built to serve the thoughtful college football fan, coach, and player.So before we sprint forward into the Super Bowl, Signing Day, and Spring Ball, let's take one last look back at where we've been as a sport.As always, thank you for being here. This doesn't happen without your support.Much love, and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Chuck Kriese spent 33 years at Clemson University before retiring in 2008. He became the winningest coach in ACC history, piling up 685 victories, 10 conference titles, and a legacy that produced All-Americans, national players of the year, and future ATP standouts. A former US National Coach and the author of four influential tennis books, Chuck has shaped how generations of coaches think about development, leadership, and building programs that last. In 2013, Chuck surprised many by returning to college coaching at The Citadel, driven by the same passion for teaching and growth that defined his career.

With the Super Bowl right around the corner that only means one thing the Pro Bowl has arrived! Everyone knows the Pro Bowl has lost all the coolness and fun but how could we fix the Pro Bowl a new name perhaps. The ACC schedules have been announced and FSU is gonna have a real hard time being competitive this year with a really tuff schedule. The Hurricanes might of landed the QB of the future in south beach with Darian Mensah ending his legal battle with duke. The Money Man from Spotrac.com Mike Ginnitti, and Host of the Locked on Canes Podcast Alex Donno joins Game On!

Miami struck out on portal quarterbacks until they got a big fish! Now-former Duke QB Darian Mensah is going to be QB1 in the Gables and is bringing his top target, Cooper Barkate. Miami's offense has a chance to be elite. The boys are stoked! The 2026 schedule was released. While the schedule favors Miami being back in the playoffs, it includes three Friday-night games and a Thursday-night game. Why does the ACC continue to poop all over one of its star brands? Dabo Swinney went on a rant about Ole Miss tampering and convincing a Clemson portal player to pick up and move to Oxford. Despite both Cam and The Beast being far from Dabo stans, they agree with him. College football is out of control. Where's the NCAA and Charlie Baker? Also, why do major outlets have Miami in the teens in their way-too-early rankings? It's a slap in the face to a team that just played in the Natty.

Welcome to Episode 136 of Tablesetters! Steve and Devin are back as we continue our deep dive into all things baseball, and today we're thrilled to welcome back Ben Upton, co-founder and host of 11Point7, one of the most trusted voices covering the college baseball landscape. Ben last joined us on Episode 59 in February 2025, when college baseball felt like it was standing on the edge of something bigger. One year later, heading into the 2026 season, that momentum hasn't slowed. If anything, it's intensified, with portal movement reshaping rosters, NIL becoming more structured, national exposure increasing, and a preseason Top 25 that feels deeper and more volatile than ever. We kick things off by revisiting that conversation from last year and asking Ben what the biggest tangible change has been now that another full season is in the books. Is it the way programs like LSU, Tennessee, and Georgia reload annually, the speed and scale of roster turnover through the portal, or the way fans now follow college baseball on a truly national level? From there, we dive into the 2026 preseason picture. UCLA opens the year at No. 1 behind returning Player of the Year Roch Cholowsky, while LSU chases history, Mississippi State reboots under Brian O'Connor, Georgia Tech brings back its ACC core, and Coastal Carolina enters the year with one of the best pitching staffs in the country. Ben breaks down whether this season represents real parity or simply an unusually strong upper tier and which team is best positioned to take control if UCLA stumbles. Hot topics include the loaded Player of the Year race featuring Cholowsky, Drew Burress, Derek Curiel, Ace Reese, and Justin Lebron, how Ben evaluates award races beyond raw production, and whether 2026 is shaping up to be a pitcher-driven season with arms like Cameron Flukey, Jackson Flora, Casan Evans, Dax Whitney, and Tommy LaPour headlining the conversation. The discussion expands to teams just outside the rankings, Texas A&M's prove-it season, and the growing trend of college coaches moving into MLB roles. Ben shares his thoughts on Tony Vitello's jump to the Giants, other recent staff departures to the pro ranks, and whether this movement can officially be called a trend. We also hit mid-majors capable of making real noise, conference realignment growing pains, potential structural changes to the MLB Draft and minor leagues, and what that could mean for college baseball's future. Before we wrap, we close with quick hitters, including one team Ben is higher on than the rankings, one he's more skeptical of, a player casual fans will be talking about by April, the pitcher he trusts most in a winner-take-all game, and his early “Eight for Omaha” pick.

The 2026 VT football schedule is here! In year one of the James Franklin era, the ACC served up a stinker. The away slate is brutal, 6 true road games, and the league has Tech traveling all over the country. The back half of the dance card has the Hokies playing 4 of the top 6 teams in the league from 2025. Those four don't even include the Clemson game - a trip to Death Valley looms large in late October. There are some potential top-25 challenges, but most, if not all, are projected to come away from Lane Stadium. Tap in to hear the gang's first reaction to the 2026 slate.
