"ACC lacrosse coaches previously decided, Starsia said, that when Syracuse becomes a member in 2014, that all five teams would participate in a postseason conference tournament. He said there would be a play-in game to accommodate the fifth team. Halfway through this past season, Starsia said he sent around an email to all of the ACC coaches with second thoughts.
Starsia said ACC lacrosse coaches, including Desko, are meeting next week in Greensboro and will reopen their tournament discussions. He said Syracuse and Notre Dame exponentially strengthen every team’s schedule. If the ACC tournament added value to individual teams’ RPI ratings in the past, maybe it won’t be necessary in the future."
The ACC is used to a 3 game conference schedule and their "faux" Tournament.
When ND comes in, it'll be 5 conference games. Last year's ACC Tourney was April 20-22 (The BE Tourney was May 3-5). They'll have to push the tourney back to later in the season to get all the conference games in beforehand.
If they continue to have a tourney. SOS won't be a problem going forward.
