CLEMSON — When Clemson’s Brad Brownell and the rest of the ACC’s coaches met with Commissioner Jim Phillips last week on Amelia Island in Florida, it was made clear by all the league wants to do anything it can to get more than four teams into the NCAA Tournament.
This past season was a low point for a conference that has prided itself and built the brand as the best league in college basketball. However, that has not been the case the last few years.
The ACC has lost its reputation as the premier basketball conference in America, and that is something no one in the league can accept.
