UNC's Franklin 'Rusty' Clark enjoys ACC Legend status

Posted Mar 13, 2015
Franklin "Rusty" Clark said he used to go to the ACC tournament often when his kids were growing up. Recently, however, his appearances haven't been as frequent. On Friday night, when the former North Carolina center was honored as an ACC Legend, he got a taste of how much the league has changed. "Some of these teams weren't even in the conference when I played," Clark said. (Fayetteville Observer)
