SEC players coming to the ACC. That has to change for the ACC to get back to its old self. I'm not sure what needs to change beyond NIL money but NIL $$$ are #1 through #100 priority for the ACC. Things can change on a dime as we have seen with teams like Michigan and Louisville - not to mention practically the whole SEC. The SEC got a little over 20% of the NCAAT bids - it will be interesting to see how the come out of the first two rounds before they start playing each other. I'm rooting for the rest of the field this year - hope a non-SEC team wins it all. Surprised at myself but I'm rooting for Duke and Houston this year.
