ACC-Big 10 Challenge to be replaced by ACC-SEC Challenge in 2023-24

With the Big 10’s TV deal with ESPN set to expire after this season, this week will mark the end of the ACC-Big 10 Challenge.

Official word came Monday morning from Andy Katz.

1/2 Breaking: ESPN will announce today the @B1GMBBall-@accmbb Challenge will end this week after 23 years and the @Big12Conference-@SEC Challenge will conclude in January after a 10-year run. A new ACC-SEC Challenge for men and women will start the week after Thanksgiving 2023.
