Episode 4 brings another loaded edition of Bleav in the ACC as the crew starts with championship week in men's and women's college basketball. The conversation opens with Michigan's dominant national title run, what their championship means historically, and a broader debate on dynasties in sports—from UConn basketball to NFL comparisons involving Brady, Mahomes, and Burrow. The guys also break down the controversy surrounding Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley following UConn and South Carolina's matchup, discussing coaching egos, rivalry energy, and how moments like this can actually elevate the sport. They also make sure to give UCLA its due after capturing the women's title despite much of the spotlight being pulled toward the coaching drama. The featured ACC team profile this week centers on Virginia Tech, and the conversation goes deep into the Hokies' transformation under new head coach James Franklin. The episode explores how Virginia Tech lost its traditional recruiting grip on the DMV and Tidewater areas after Frank Beamer, why Franklin is uniquely positioned to restore that pipeline, and how quickly he has already changed the energy around the program. Ronnie and the crew dive into the unusual but fascinating dynamic of former head coach Brent Pry staying on as defensive coordinator, what that says about coaching relationships, and the financial realities behind decisions like that in today's college football landscape. From there, the episode turns into a full football operations conversation, highlighting Franklin's recruiting cachet, the mass decommitments that followed his Penn State departure, and how that influence immediately translated to Virginia Tech through both the transfer portal and high school recruiting. The guys also analyze the Hokies' favorable 2026 schedule, debate whether the Vegas total of 7.5 wins is too low, and make their case for Virginia Tech as a legitimate ACC dark horse thanks to continuity at quarterback, coaching familiarity, and a system that should translate quickly. The episode closes with early thoughts on next week's featured program, Florida State, where the coaching hot-seat discussion is already heating up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Virginia Tech Hokies spark a revival as James Franklin leverages the transfer portal for instant competitiveness. Can an influx of Penn State talent, including quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer and tight end Luke Reynolds, drive the Hokies to bowl eligibility in year one? Consistent defensive development and crucial portal additions set the stage for an immediate impact, but questions loom about offensive line stability and the ceiling for win totals. Brian Smith examines Virginia Tech's high-risk, high-reward quarterback battle with Bryce Baker, the importance of key matchups against SMU, Miami, and Clemson, and Franklin's recruiting reach in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and the loaded Hampton Roads region. With over half the roster flipped and looming ACC showdowns, will the Hokies' aggressive overhaul reshape their trajectory and challenge established conference powers?

While injuries in sports are never a good thing, North Carolina's ability to come together as a group in the wake of Caleb Wilson's setback took another step forward on Saturday night. The Heels handled Virginia Tech with a collective effort, getting the 89-82 win and setting up a final week of regular season play with momentum and chemistry Hubert Davis's team will need when tournament season begins in just ten days. Henri Veesaar paced Carolina with 26 points while Seth Trimble continued his scoring binge, adding 20. Jonathan Powell added 15 points while Zayden High tallied 12, including all eight of his free throw attempts. Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the win, the keys that led to the win, those pivotal players that have stepped up recently and what lies ahead for UNC.   **Call to Action:**  **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!  **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!  **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.     This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.
