I’d bet they’d have given an exception if Clemson was host eligible

They had the same situation with graduation. The difference is their AD wa chair Many other places had enough hotels within 30 miles because they’re in bigger cities It was a bad deal timing wise

Two big disappointments of not hosting.

Mark Berman wrote a really good story about the hosting issue last week

The committee didn't want VT to host.

Do you have any facts on this or is it a WAG?**

Clemson is the only ACC team with a comparable situation to VT.

And believe her or not, Nonnen said Clemson would have been in the same

call me crazy but if VT was a top 10 team something would have happened **

I wonder if the administration will attempt to avoid NCAAT in the future.

It may be tough to do if the NCAA's window is more flexible than VT's

Next year, there is not a conflict so that's a good thing.**

Where's the ACCT? Before or after graduation? Who's hosting?
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 11:30 AM ET
I believe Clemson is hosting the ACCT next year
VTChip • 05/18/26 11:52 AM ET
Thanks. Looking to host next year if OOC will cooperate.**
