ACC Preview Pause


I am long overdue with conference previews other than the completed Big East one from what seems like months ago. But the ACC preview, which was next on the list, has now been prevented from seeing the light of day due to the troubles at Chapel Hill.

The University of North Carolina was expected to challenge for the ACC title. That still may happen but the school, which was already waiting to find out if some key players were going to be suspended due to the now infamous party in Florida that was hosted by agents, is now dealing with more bad news. The NCAA is investigating an academic scandal involving several football stars and a tutor who allegedly did more work than permissible.

So what do we make of the Tar Heels? If any suspensions are tolerable, will they use them as motivation? If stars are suspended for half a season or more, will they tank? I have a day to sort it out.
