I don’t disagree. They might make it. I am also NOT a UNC hater or an ACC hater. I am more arguing that if you play a lot of good teams because you can, you SHOULD actually you know WIN a few. Many teams could never get an OOC schedule like that because well you’re not UNC. This whole strength of schedule is bogus unless you put some pelts on the wall.
I fully expect Duke to blow them away again. Of course, I don’t know how Duke plays the game as it is the last game of the Regular Season. Irony for me is I’ll be pulling for UNC to get the W.
I think if they beat Duke they are likely in.

Interest in the NBA regular season has absolutely cratered in recent years by all metrics. The reasons are because star players are always sitting out and individual games feel like they don't mean much in an 82 game season where more than half the teams make the playoffs.
Expanding the tournament plus adding more regular season games would devalue the regular season near the point to where the NBA is. But it'll probably happen because it means more $$

I think they are already in, unless one of the last memories the committee has is them losing by 40 to Duke.
The NIT and NCAA were on pretty even terms during the forties. SJU won twice but both years played the NCAA champ in MSG and lost. The NCAA expanded in 51 and that started their prominence although for years the NIT had great teams. The NCAA kept expanding and in 1975 they allowed second place league teams to be invited. Prior to only the first place team could be invited.
That change killed the NIT. Today they are talking about ten SEC getting bids. Prior to 1975 only one could go. In 1959 SJU best Bradley in the NIT final. Bradley was the third rated team in the country but could not beat Oscar on Cin so they couldn’t get a NCAA bid

Kinda cool even if a bit too much. Really stresses regular season play.

That beatdown is probably something X and Nova fans were not happy to see.
Sources: FSU, Clemson, ACC expected to settle
FSU and Clemson will vote Tuesday on an agreement that would ultimately result in the settlement of lawsuits between the schools and the ACC, sources told ESPN.
Seems pretty clear the ACC themselves know that they're done by 2030 with the decrease in exit fees at the same time as the TV contracts expire.
It will be very funny when the Big East/ACC merge, and by 2036, the conference is basically the old Big East again.
