The ACC's revenue innovation brought in more money than ever in 2024-25, yet it did little to close the revenue gap, writes @GSBarnes23.

Chapel Hill: UNC, Tennessee, ECU, VCU. Feels like a very intriguing regional there, no cake walk for the No. 5 national seed Tar Heels. Volunteers went to Chapel Hill in 2019, and ECU is no stranger there, of course.

[Carolina Baseball @DiamondHeels]

The Chapel Hill Regional is set!
