5/23/2023
In a special edition of the ACC Now podcast, The News & Observer’s Andrew Carter, still recovering from a hard week of work on Amelia Island, Florida, tries to make sense of the ACC’s annual spring meetings. Is the league really on the verge of collapse, as so many postulate on social media? And what to make of all this talk of a “Magnificent Seven” looking to break away?
