3-10-26: No One Cares About ACC Tourney
Description
Tune in here to this Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Breaking Brett Jensen discusses the changing significance of the ACC basketball tournament. Having covered the event extensively as a journalist, Jensen argues the tournament has changed dramatically over the years and no longer holds the prestige or excitement it once did. He explains how the ACC Tournament operated when the conference had only nine teams. During that era, getting a ticket to the event was nearly impossible because demand was so high. However, he says expansion altered the structure of the conference and began to dilute the tight-knit regional identity that defined the original ACC. Jensen predicts this year’s tournament will not even be half full for many of the early-round games, possibly only one-third full.
