Incredible. #UNC's Cormac Ryan celebrates ON TOP of the team bus with the ACC Championship Trophy on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill. Ryan hit 6 threes and scored 31 points in the 84-79 win over Duke.
Nothing better than the newly minted 2023-24 ACC Champions climbing out the top of the bus to celebrate. Cormac Ryan is wild. And he deserves every second of this celebration. 📸 cred: @sophiaczek (used with permission)

Not a big legal guy, but UNC should play Tez and seek a preliminary injunction against the NCAA’s ruling. All the attorneys or twitter legal experts feel free to weigh in. The NCAA is preventing him from NIL earnings and future earnings. There is so much on Tez’s side.
