The blueprints are out, and the arms race is on. 🏁

Welcome to Blue Blood TV, the ultimate deep dive into the most storied rivalry in sports.

From the front-office strategies of GMs Rachel Baker and Jim Tanner to the sideline chess match between Jon Scheyer and Michael Malone, we break down how the 919 became the capital of the modern college hoops era.

Every week, we’re joined by Darryl Brunson (Duke) and Will Phelan (UNC) to debate:
