CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Next year's newly expanded Atlantic Coast Conference won't feature every team in its men's and women's basketball tournaments. The league announced Wednesday that the ACC will feature the top 15 teams in next year's tournaments. Those will be the first after the league has grown to 18 teams, with California and Stanford joining from the Pac-12 as well as SMU from the American Athletic Conference. The league will stay with a 20-game conference schedule for the men and an 18-game schedule for the women. The ACC also has approved a pair of technology measures for the 2024 football season, including use of coach-to-player helmet communication devices.
