Atlantic Coast Conference (Official Thread)

ACC expanding enhanced replay for football games in 2026

The ACC will expand its enhanced replay for 2026, giving viewers an inside look at the full discussions and debates in the conference's replay center in Charlotte, North Carolina, for significantly more games.

Last year, the league was the first to allow viewers behind the scenes as officials on the field and in the league's headquarters discussed reviews, with 27 total games broadcast with the enhanced replay usage. This year, the ACC will have 27 enhanced replay games in just the first three weeks of the season.

"Innovation remains a hallmark of the ACC, including being the first conference to provide enhanced replay transparency last season," ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said in a release by the league. "Following a successful first year, we are proud to further elevate this fan-friendly initiative by bringing it to even more games in 2026. We will continue investing in technology that strengthen competitive integrity, improve operations and enhance the student-athlete and fan experience."

The behind-the-scenes vantage point was a hit with viewers, and other conferences took note. The Big 12 will also offer a version of enhanced replay this year.

In addition to expanding the number of games that will include enhanced replay, the ACC will add four new cameras in the game-day operations center to allow for more "over the shoulder" visibility of what officials in the replay center are seeing.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Texas judge grants restraining order against SEC, challenging ban on former pro athletes returning to college

A collection of former college athletes have been issued a restraining order against the SEC, conference commissioner Greg Sankey and the NCAA​

The SEC faces its first challenge since voting to penalize coaches and schools that play former professional athletes. On Thursday, a Texas judge granted a collection of former college athletes temporary restraining orders against the NCAA, the SEC and commissioner Greg Sankey.

Earlier this week, the SEC unanimously voted to ban professional athletes from returning to college, and 15 of the 16 institutions voted to implement strict penalties on teams that defy that ban. LSU was the only school that abstained from the second vote.

Three athletes included in the latest Texas ruling -- receiver Jordan Hudson (Cowboys), linebacker Wesley Bissainthe (Chiefs) and receiver Omari Evans (Chiefs) -- are currently listed on NFL rosters.

This Texas lawsuit is the first to challenge the NCAA and SEC, but it won't be the last. According to Yahoo Sports, the Louisiana eligibility lawsuit has also been amended to include the SEC and Sankey. That suit includes three former Ole Miss players. Two of whom -- tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive tackle Xzavian Harris -- have already committed to LSU.

The Block “O” is in honor of former Buckeye and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Bill Willis. Willis’s number, 99, is retired by the Buckeyes. Per head coach Ryan Day, the Block ‘O’ represents much more than what a player does on the field. It represents toughness, accountability, and character.

“[Inniss] earned the respect of everyone in our building through the way he works, prepares, and serves his teammates,” Day said. “He is now a two-time captain who understands what it means to wear the Scarlet and Gray and the responsibility that comes with this program. Brandon continues to grow as a leader, and he will represent the legacy of Bill Willis and everything the Block ‘O’ stands for the right way.”

Priority OL makes plans to see Ohio State​

Looking at Ohio State’s 2027 class along the offensive line, Tyler Bowen has done a really solid job at landing not only talent, but quality depth as well. A haul that shows Bowen can recruit with the best of them for his position group, the goal for 2028 will be nothing but the same.

Fortunately, the Buckeyes are in good position with multiple top targets already, and that includes John Paul Carrico. A 6-f00t-8, 295 pound Kentucky native, Carrico’s name has been closely linked with the Buckeyes for long enough to consider Ohio State a strong favorite in this recruitment, and his recent comments and future plans further that notion.

Making it known he believes Ohio State is a good fit, Carrico is putting his words to action with his fall visit plans. Set to be on campus now on Nov. 14 for the Northwestern game, this trek to Columbus will only continue the two parties strong interest.

Bowen keeping in regular communication, the mutual interest won’t decrease any time soon. The No. 189 player nationally and the 22nd best offensive tackle in the class per the 247Sports Composite, keep an eye on this one for the long haul.
