ACC basketball starts conference play Saturday. Why the league is already in big trouble

Posted Dec 7, 2024
The ACC begins men's basketball conference play this weekend with all 18 teams facing off against a league foe. It should be a bonanza of basketball for a conference that's long prided itself on basketball excellence. Instead, three months before the NCAA Tournament starts, it feels like the league is already a dead man walking. (WRAL Sports Fan)
