Message: [QUOTE="orange79, post: 26417, member: 159"] It doesn't [B]need[/B] an auto bid. It's a nice-to-have. Not that anyone in the ACC cares, but with an auto-bid, a lot of criticism of the ACC tournament goes out the window. It would no longer only be a get-together to increase everyone's SOS. A guaranteed bid would be on the line. Also, in those years where (god forbid) we may need to win the tournament to get in, the option would be there. I think that was one of the reasons Desko and SU finally caved regarding the BE league. We missed the NCAA's and thought that a second chance looked pretty good. I agree, in most years we wouldn't need it. But it would be nice to have if we did need it. [/QUOTE]
