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

Posted Mar 11, 2025
The ACC is expected to receive only three bids for the NCAA men's basketball tournament on Selection Sunday. 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)
