The ACC is planning on playing non-conference games during the 20-21 college basketball season, barring any massive medical setbacks or testing issues related to COVID-19, four separate sources said on Wednesday.
The news comes after last week’s ACC proposal that every single Division 1 team be eligible for the 2021 NCAA Tournament, which was quickly rebuffed by the NCAA.
There has been widespread speculation that the ACC had preferred a conference only model, but as of now the league is going to pursue non-conference opportunities as long as there are no medical or testing issues.
Eight ACC teams are currently ranked in the ROTHSTEIN 45.
