No longer able to rely on legacy, ACC men's basketball is at a crossroads

Posted Mar 11, 2025

That would be its lowest in 25 years and a far cry from its record-tying nine berths in 2018. NIL rules and the transfer portal have destabilized collegiate sports, creating a lack of continuity that has impacted programs around the country. (ESPN.com)
