The expansion of the NCAAT (which was significantly caused by NCST beating MD in the ACCT) has made the ACCT far less important.
I agree that it did, expansion of the ACC has made it completely irrelevant. Not playing every other team twice a season lessens the intensity of the rivals. I used to care about all of the games and could name the starting line up of every team. I knew lots of UNC, Duke, and State fans, a handful of Clemson, UVa, and GT fans and even a few Maryland fans. I don't know any Pitt or Louisville or Syracuse or Miami or BC or even VT fans. It's just not the same with the league so big. I can tell you the name of every ACC Tourney champion up to 2004. But I don't really care anymore.
