Why Is the ACC Tournament So Late?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I notice that the Big Ten finals are today. They get next week off to rest and prepare for the NCAAT.

Sounds like an advantage.

Why don't we do that?

Big Ten is whining that they did it and that they will never do it ever again as it crammed so many games in so fast for their teams and is going to have them cold going into the NCAA tourney.

They moved it up so they could use Madison square garden which is where the big east is during the regular championship week.

The Big Ten chose to play their tourney this week so that they could play it at MSG.

Think this was a one off situation so the B1G could play at MSG due to scheduling. Still stupid either way, stupid just like having the ACCT in Brooklyn. NYC is not ACC country and never will be. Should rotate between DC, Greensboro, ATL and Tampa every year

The ACC tourney should be in Greensboro, NC every year **** the other sites !

Better question. Why in the world did we cave to ole Jim and move the tourney to Brooklyn?
