Tim Donnelly & Dennis Cox discuss how the sports landscape in the State of North Carolina both professionally and collegiately have changed since Leap Day 2020. 

Tim Donnelly says Duke basketball is in a tough spot dealing with an injury to Caleb Foster as head coach Jon Scheyer has shortened his rotation for much of the season, but will have to adjust going into the final stretch of the regular season before the ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament.

Also, the NFL combine doesn't carry as much weight now to elevate players, but it can validate them. 

Tim Donnelly is joined by WRAL Sports Investigative Reporter Brian Murphy about how the UNC System Board of Governors voted Thursday to give the system president and the board itself the final say over a school's ability to change athletic conferences, including what that would mean for UNC & NC State, as well as the ACC as North Carolina has been rumored for looking to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference. 

Tim Donnelly says ACC football is being 'little brothered' by SEC football & Big Ten football based on the latest conversations surrounding the College Football Playoff possibly expanding to 14 schools, with the SEC & Big Ten getting three automatic qualifiers, but the ACC & Big 12 only getting 2 AQ's.

Jamie Hersch of the NHL Network joined Tim Donnelly to discuss the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, and what potential moves the Carolina Hurricanes can do leading up to the trade deadline, including adding to their forward group.

Plus, goalie Spencer Martin will be facing his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, for the first time since the Blue Jackets placed him on waivers. 

During Hit It & Quit It, Tim Donnelly & Dennis Cox discuss NC State football beginning spring football practice, former NC State football LB Payton Wilson at the 2024 NFL Combine, the latest mock draft from Mel Kiper and why he has UNC QB Drake Maye as the third QB in the 2024 NFL Draft. Also, why Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis is making winning plays that don't necessarily show up in the stat sheet. 

Tim Donnelly says that the Carolina Panthers' roster can be picked over in a ruthless manner by new head coach Dave Canales because of Canales' comments at the 2024 NFL Combine about how he will assess the roster.

Also, Tim argues why the Carolina Panthers should look to acquire Bengals WR Tee Higgins or 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk.

Tim Donnelly says NC State basketball and head coach Kevin Keatts have lacked a consistent rotation all season, and the lack of continuity has loomed large, including in their 90-83 loss at Florida State basketball.

Tim Donnelly says the Carolina Hurricanes simplified their approach by focusing on getting more shots towards the goal in their 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild.

Tim Donnelly & Dennis Cox share their confidence & concerns for the ACC basketball schools in North Carolina, including UNC basketball, NC State basketball, Duke basketball, and Wake Forest basketball.

During Cop or Drop, questions were asked about the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, including if the Carolina Hurricanes will make a trade for a forward if a goalie is no longer in the works, but also what the Carolina Panthers might do with left tackle Ikem Ekwonu after GM Dan Morgan spoke to the media at the 2024 NFL Combine.
