Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 3615296, member: 6872"] Last mbb season we were in the conference, we went undefeated in conference play and lost in the ACC tournament championship game to Tobacco Road officiating. Thus we did not make the 16 team NCAA tourney. Conference knew we were leaving the next year and did not want us to be the conference representative. We left because the Tobacco Road Four didn't want to lower the 800 SAT minimum so black kids from poor rural school backgrounds would be ineligible as Jim Crowe was collapsing. Maryland, SCar and Clemson wanted the 800SAT dropped so admissions were the same as the rest of the country. The TR4 persuaded Virginia to join them to block it. We left and Clemson was supposed to join us but wimped out. Y'all hung there along time, but I think you always hated the TR4 after that even though they dropped the 800SAT two years after we left.
