RIDICULOUS: The ACC Has INCREDIBLE Media Day OMISSION

The ACC’s Player of the Year ballot snub raises questions about conference credibility. Malachi Toney, Miami’s star receiver with 109 catches and 10 touchdowns last season, is shockingly left off the ACC’s most prestigious award list. Brian Smith calls out the league’s ongoing pattern of “basic oversights” and wonders aloud if powerhouse programs like Florida State and Clemson can trust a conference that overlooks its top talents. Brian Smith unpacks Bud Elliott’s explosive claims about Florida State’s donor base and administration on the Cover 3 Podcast. Did FSU have the money to compete, only to lose crucial support behind the scenes? The discussion digs into recruiting woes, potential upgrades—or downgrades—in the Seminoles’ back office, and the unpredictable 2026 outlook (ranging from 3–9 to 9–3). Will the Seminoles course-correct in time, or are deeper issues holding them back from ACC dominance?
