Jimmy V tribute on ESPN Classic right now!

Right now an Up Close Classics featuring Jimmy V is airing on ESPN Classic. Following that at 1pm eastern, there will be three classic Jimmy V (NC State) games on ESPN Classic, including of course the 1983 NCAA championship final vs Houston. More details in our December college hoops TV guide. Also don't miss the live Jimmy V Classic double-header on ESPN tonight, with Michael Beasley and Billy "peed my towels" Walker facing off the Bold Domers, and OJ Mayo and USC squaring off with Derrick Rose and the Calipari Tigers.

    Sorry, I missed the video where Valvano and Chris Washburn are stuffing cash into their pockets instead of attending class.

    Nobody's perfect! But I think most people will agree that Jimmy V's overall contributions to society far aweigh his past indiscretions.

    Obviously in a situation like this there is the "santaclausification" effect, and ESPN does that as they simply avoid talking about the past.
