OT Florida State crowned ACC tournament champions after tournament is canceled
Yes, FSU won the regular season and were the number one seed. They had a 2 round bye and had not played a game yet.
If there was to be a NCAA tournament, they would represent the ACC, but why give them a tournament championship title and trophy?
Florida, man.
It was a weird thing to see. Especially with the comment made during the presentation about representing the ACC going forward. It's too surreal for people to consider that there likely will not be an NCAA Tournament at all.
This is stupid there was no tournament therefore there should be no champion. If you want to say they would be awarded the automatic bid to a non-existent NCAA Tourney that’s one thing.
Whatever.
They can't be this stupid. Are they going to hang a banner in their arena next season for winning this tournament that never happened?
They're practically begging the entire sports world to rip on them.
They get to hang a banner up and get a participation trophy.
This is so dumb and I hope they dont do it with the Ncaa Tournament champion as well
The tournament wasn't played. How can they be champions of a tournament that they didn't win a single game in?
They cant just ya know have no tourney champions for a single season?
It's because the ACC doesn't have a regular season title, so this is a way to back into one.
In the speech the ACC commissioner gave, he said they have a regular season champion and trophy.
That's soft as fuck and makes the ACC look ridiculous now that there's not an NCAA tournament
You can give them the bid, but don't hand them a trophy like they did anything more this weekend than show up to the arena
At least it wasn't Duke or UNC
I regret that I have only one POS BANG to give...
ACC will award trophy to Florida State shortly.

For the first time in ACC history, by the bylaws, the regular-season champion and not the tournament champion is the actual champion.
The need to hand out trophies has gone plaid

Lots more important things happening now. I suggest others get priorities straight.
